My days on earth are numbered, like every other person. My time can vary depending on factors of life and ability. And I see myself with not as many days and not as much time as I really should.

Coming to the thought of death, I see an unreliable build. I find it hard to process that one day, I will no longer be able to breathe, to move, to see. I will not be able to feel the touch of one's hand on my back, one's arm over my shoulders. I will be still and cold and lifeless.

And I see that this day of death will come soon, for I don't see a future for myself. I also find it hard to think that one day I will be my own person with my own responsibilities and my own life as an independent.

So to say shortly, I will not be alive and well. I see a black and cold future ahead of me. No one will be there. I will hear no noise. Everything that I've ever known to exist will be gone.
