What does it mean to face death?
How does one stare into that breathless emptiness and walk away the same?
One doesn’t.
Death is danger.
Death is pain.
Death is truth.
Death is
Sacrifice.
Death is not silence.
Death
is
Not
stillness.
Death throbs through your veins and keeps you breathing as it changes you
Death is not peace.
Death is the crackle of burning flesh.
Death is the last gasp for air.
Death is the taste of water as it fills your mouth.
Death.
Is a silent scream.
