Terrifying

It's funny when suddenly
every little detail has escaped
And never have you really
thought about what you control

Never realizing the horrible power that you grasp
And when it hits you...
All you can do is laugh at it
because there is no possible way
to accept how easily you could destroy
the very fabric of your existence

No way to express the feeling
when you finally see
how terribly easy it could be
to just erase everything

Close your eyes
and know you will never open them again.

It's terrifying
when you finally look around
and know that you could simply end your life

In one act
one final move
holding the strings,
the puppet master
able to end it on a whim.

But knowing you can,
is not so frightening
as the second realization...

In the end,
it all comes down to knowing you will
Someday
you will turn around on impulse
and make the decision
to cut down a life in it's prime...

and that is truly terrifying.
