Death & Life

hand-drawn, black ink, on white paper. the words 'death' sitting above the words 'life' which sits inverted below death almost like a reflection sitting above dark waters. on the word 'life' there is a flower emerging from the letter 'l' and leaves from the tip of the 'e'.

Life is brutality.
Life is beauty.
You are utterly alone and abandoned.
You are held by the ground beneath your feet,
suspended in the air that sustains you.
You are death.
You are life.
No one was there for you when you needed them most.
God failed you.
Scream. Shout. Rage.
These are worthy fires to illuminate the suffocating dark.
Settle for nothing less than the full truth,
or die trying.

Who knows?
You might just live.
