DEATH FEELS LIKE A MEMORY

Death feels like a memory to me

One step ahead of me,

Always ahead of me...

But what if I were ahead of death?

If life were a lie

Then so was I

A hallucination all along.

A beautiful lie

Shielding me

From a terrible truth.

For oxygen is toxic

And I am addicted.

When I stop breathing

Darkness creeps from the inside

Because that's what it is

Darkness, nothingness

But if so

I was never here

And I never heard

Nothing

All is a hallucination

A trick of the mind

A side effect from breathing,

That when we withdraw

We see nothing

And we hear silence

We Feel numb

Only to realise that this feeling

Is a familiar sensation...

A.N. The inspiration for this was a song from Hamilton (Yes, yes, I know. I'm one of those people who discovered Hamilton late. So what? Sue me.)
