Entry 8
December 4ᵗʰ,

Death—
An unusual phenomenon

That repeatedly happens
everyday

Are you accustomed to it my Dear Mia?
Or do you happen to get shaken
by your own sorrows?

A suffering pain
engulfing
the frail body from within.

To only
become entrapped within our own mind's
deception of fear.

When the priest crumbled to its miserable death,
the room was left in confusion
as darkness took over.

The unexpected bullets piercing through the
darkness was what caught my attention.

The expression you made
all while terror took over the outdoor funeral venue.

It was emotionless.

You didn't even care
as the guest desperately crawled
for their own safety.


Why did you stay seated Mia?
Why didn't you go in search of safety?
More importantly,

Why do I keep questioning
your well-being

when

you already assured your answer?

I guess

I wasn't fully convinced

when I ran into you

for the second time

that night.

Death

It's something I constantly witness on an everyday basis. You could say it's like taking my everyday morning coffee. Except not really, because I loath coffee.

I've grown accustomed to it since I was a young intellectual kid. After all, I was present when they continuously shot my Step Grandfather.

I was four years old,
if I remember correctly.

I was sitting in the corner of the room with my toy gun. Very aware of the situation as I kept pointing my gun towards the masked guy. Mimicking his movements. I was only left to question why he didn't toss me over the river inside a plastic bag. Maybe he was against water pollution? Who knows. In the end, the now dead guy made a wise choice in not littering.
