We kill parts of ourselves every day.
you know that, don't you?
We kill about 50 billion parts of ourselves every single day.
Yet, it could never match the pain of the parts we are aware we kill.
The pain of saying goodbye,
The pain of remembering,
The pain of watching,
Mourning,
Wishing,
and accepting.
Accepting that a part of us will forever be dying.
That we'll never truly be whole, but functional.
That with each pain, our minds trace out faces.
Some often trace their own.
So apart from the 50 billion other parts, we kill ourselves.
We kill our hope,
Will,
Trust,
And sensibility,
Just to make staying alive a bit easier.
