Contemplation on Everything and Myself
Vulnerability
Learning how you feel when you think about
Dying
Investing in yourself is hard when you stop
Trying
Perspectives change as we get
Older
You don’t feel the same maybe a little bit
Bolder
There can’t be sadness if there isn’t
Happy
And sometimes it’s hard to be that
Sappy
Because Vulnerability can feel so
Bad
But there can’t be happy without feeling
Sad
And we would die if we were in a
Vacuum
So why would we let ourselves
Assume
That we’d be fine tomorrow or
Something
If all it would take is a little of
Nothing
And everyday I get a little bit
Anxious
Why should my default have to be so
Cautious
When every moment I get a little bit
Closer
To the point in my life where it would all be
Over.

Six Feet Under
Buried alive. What a horrible way to go. Yazz lay there, in her own thoughts. What else could she do? She was hungry, thirsty, tired, mentally, and physically exhausted, and more than anything, she was bored. She hoped she would die of boredom before anything else, anything else would've been more painful. Like many people had, she and her friends had talked about what they reckon the worst ways to die were, it was a morbid subject, but it came up every now and again. Yazz had always been one to argue her point on drowning, others had mentioned burning alive, slowly and painfully bleeding to death, hung drawn and quartered, and being starved to death. It was strange that none of them had considered being buried alive, it had never come up. But now, she was thinking back to those conversations her and her friends had had, how could they have not thought about it? It took a lot longer than the others, you were completely confined, you couldn't move or do anything, you just had to wait, until your body was physically unable to support a life system anymore, which could take up to four days. Four! By far the longest out of all of them. She recounted some of these conversations just to try and pass the time, anything to pass the time. It was difficult to know how much time had passed since she had been underground, it was difficult to know anything. There were many things that Yazz didn't know, she didn't know where she was, she didn't know how she'd got into the coffin, she'd just woken up there. Yazz also didn't know what time it was, or even what day it was, she guessed at Tuesday, it was Sunday evening when she'd been buried alive, intentionally, and although it had felt like weeks had passed, she was still alive, which means she hadn't died from dehydration, and therefore it couldn't have been more than four days.
