Death Illusions

I lived in the shadow of my death.

Little turned out the way I thought.

I was laden with guilt,

When things got bad.


Yet I was stoic.

Given no choice,

But to accept what had happened

I lived in a world that was almost certain,

To mock my dreams,

To break my heart.


For me,

A broken heart,

Was like,

A broken bone.


When my body failed me,

Others failed me.

I had no control.

I had to give up the illusion.

We lived in the shadow of our death
