Chased by death
Is a scary place to be.

My mask of pain,
My mummified skin,
My artistic vision,
Is all I have left of what once was.

My mothers memories of my laughs and cries,
My partners opinions of my likes and dislikes,
My sisters thoughts on how I am
No longer the child she used to know,
Is the only important remembrance of who I am.

My home,
My cat,
My car,
My books.

A physical reminder
Of the person
I wish to be perceived as.

Moments Mori is my death
Memento Vivere is my life.

So,
I will live on.

Forever.
Forever.
Forever.

Just for me.
Just for you.

Just for one more moment.
