You don't know death 🪦

A poem about death.

By Nick Published about 4 hours ago • 1 min read

You don't know death.

You don't know death but you know what it feels like to almost choke on the very thing that keeps you alive

But you don't know death

You don't know death but you know what it feels like to love a character in a movie only to lose them in the end

But you don't know death

You don't know death but you know what it feels like to have surgery and fear not waking up from it

But you don't know death

You don't know death but death is all around you

But still, you don't know death

And when death comes, you won't know that.
