215. Ghosts Who Breathe

Conventional wisdom states,
When someone stops breathing,
It's a sign that they're dead.

The logic is sound,
Yet there's no denying,
Experience tends to differ. 

Do you hide in the comfort of rationality?
Or take a peek in the metaphoricality?
Would you humor me if I say,
"Goodbye" signals passing away?

Some may say I’ve grown to become a pity, But selling my humanity gave me such clarity. I had been wrought with being clean cut. Now I feel my way through unkept ambiguity. I thought this apathy would turn me into a mutt, But it feels like trusting my gut has given new ...

105. Cutoff

You grew up with ambiguity. You grasped your hands around anxiety. You don't have to cut out the source of your life. You can learn to breathe again as you drop the knife.

You needn't carry that blade to cut away your misery. You needn't live your life with death as your release. You needn't to live life with a way out from imperfection You needn't carry the weight of the world anymore.
