every memory is a scar


people tend to think

i'm joking when i tell

them i have no interest

living past my expiration

date


they tell me you're

only 50


you have so many

years in front of you


that always makes me

laugh


they don't understand

how every memory

is a scar


every scar is years

upon years of an

endless journey

that at least one

of us knows is

going to end


no one seems to like

talking about death


other than those of

us whom understand

exactly what it is


nothing to fear


only the natural

conclusion to life


the only way out

of this fucking hell
