dear stranger ,


i watched you being rushed to the nearest bed ,

you were vomiting out blood ,

every chance you got , you spat out blood ,

your bed was next to mine , as i was fighting for my life as well ,

i had so much faith you ,


going to the bathroom , i would pass by your bed ,

little did i know , that you would not survive the pain you were in ,

you left us just the following day of being at the hospital ,

your mother was devastated to hear the news of your departure .


from that day , i realized how it is easy to lose your life ,

how blessed we are to get to see another day ,

not everyone gets to see the sunrise again ,

this is a trigger , it creeps in every now and then ,

i just go through the motions of me trying to take my life ,

it just puts me down ,


we do not know the time we have ,

get to give love ,

allow yourself to be given love ,

treat people with respect and kindness ,

always remember that life is too short .
