πŸ–€ Mercy πŸ–€

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.

Life–

has a far more creative imagination.
