Death (and What It Truly Is)
death isn’t a funeral
where your family kisses your cheek
and says goodbye
death is lips so chapped
you can’t move them as
your parents list off
the things they hate about you
death is throwing up
in a toilet at your prom
hoping it’ll make you
look a little better through the night
death is getting a knife
and cutting the fat off of your body
because you aren’t valuable enough
to take up so much space
where your family kisses your cheek
and says goodbye
death is lips so chapped
you can’t move them as
your parents list off
the things they hate about you
death is throwing up
in a toilet at your prom
hoping it’ll make you
look a little better through the night
death is getting a knife
and cutting the fat off of your body
because you aren’t valuable enough
to take up so much space
