Death is a strange concept that is feared because we don't understand. It's something that makes us do the wildest of things whether we're avoiding it or chasing it with arms spread wide.
It's is the end of everything we know and the beginning of things we don't.
Death brings a pain that no one can describe, nor wants to. A pain that paints images. Images of that gun going off. Of Those pills being swallowed, the car making contact, their arm going limp, and the world slowing to a stand still.
The threat of death changes people. It makes them doing things they normally wouldn't have the guts to do. It changes people, turns them inside out like nothing else can.
It can build you up or tear you down. It makes you sign in relief or tense in fear. It either sharpens or dulls your senses.
It burns you, marks you
Death makes you cry so hard you see stars and almost pass out.
Death breaks down your barriers, then builds them up stronger than before. It makes you vulnerable then tough. It makes you wonder then fear.
Death is life
And life is death.
this was good. death gives us all scars.
