A day in my life

I often find myself
Staring deeply
Into the explicit
Vision of my grave
I say this
With no pun intended
Nor do I say this
With a touch of humor

I often find myself
Staring deeply
Into the explicit
Vision of my soil
Just soil
That I am entitled to
Days and years
Spent working
And achieving
To end up in dirt

But I stay hopeful
In this morbid
But very routine
Hallucination of mine
So I look around
And find
Not a flower in sight
And the world
Performing as usual
As if I were nothing
But a speck of dust

Some days
The voices can be persuasive
And on those days
I am told of the joke
My existence is
And always will be

Welcome to a day in my life

Death

I sometimes think
That death is easier

For once you die
You’re done
You’re one with the sand
You’re just
Nothing

Maybe that’s why
It seems easier
To die than to live
To feel and be nothing
Than everything
Drowning you in a sea
Of sorrow, pain
And disappointment

I’m sure
There’s more to life
Than just that
But a spark
Is all it takes
To burn down
A forest
An iceberg
Is all it takes
To sink the indestructible

And so
Sometimes
Life is all it takes
To die
