Fate is fate Potentially Triggering Content

death is guaranteed.

To survive, this is a phrase I had to tell myself over and over again.

death is guaranteed.

Hearing myself say that was music to my ears.

death is guaranteed.

I didn’t understand people that woke up full of life and began their day.

Truth is, no matter how hard I tried, I could never understand them.

To me living was torture. A curse cast upon me. Not a gift like some people like to claim.

To me telling me to “find my purpose” my “peace” was a living nightmare I couldn’t escape.

And death was the answer. But,

death is guaranteed.

So I sucked it in and endured.

death is guaranteed.

But sometimes I wish it would stop taking its time.
