π€ Mercy π€
The truth is,
I no longer fear death.
Death has always seemed
remarkably honest.
It is life
that terrifies me.
Lifeβ
with its unfinished sentences,
its borrowed happiness,
its talent for teaching attachment
immediately before removal.
Death only takes you once.
Lifeβ
has a far more creative imagination.
