Today,

My life is a metaphor for death.

Eyes open but unmoving because the dagger stabbed into my soul, took away the dreams playing in a loop on my retina.

Clothes unclean and stinking rancid like that of a blood bathed dead body.

My heart does not beat anymore.

Which is to say, the passion in the rhythm of the beats in the drum of my chest is gone.

I am colder than a frost bite,

It's probably why they had to amputate my soul.

My kunckels are whiter than that of a dead body.

It's from the strain of holding on.

Today, my life is a metaphor for death,

I was thinking maybe I should too just let go.
