I am stuck between life and death.
Stuck between white and black.
My life looks grey.
A burning forest with unquenchable smoke.
Life and death walk with me everywhere.
One reminds me of the willowy trees,
Tall and beautiful just like a model.
It reminds me of the infinite horizon,
Of how many opportunities stretch beyond the sky.
It reminds me of the ever blue and graceful ocean-
Supporting life
And still capable of taking life.
It reminds me of the painted flowers
And the peaceful , melodious songs of the birds.
It reminds me that this is worth living.
And then,
There is the other one.
The doppelganger of life.
The one who shows me the aura of green
Surrounding humans,
As we envy one another and always strive for unobtainable perfection.
It reminds me of blood-
That whispers from the ocean-
From the lives that once drowned there-
From the lives that once conceded there.
It reminds me of the tears I shed every day
Of the seconds, minutes and hours
Where in my strength had faded
And all I did was want to end it all.
Death keeps dancing around me,
It keeps pulling me into its clutches
It whispers at me like the wind
And calls me to come home.
Yet,
Life,
Life still searches me
Saves me from death's flirtations,
And constantly chants at me
About the beauty found in it.
Lmaooo, I have no words 💀😭
