Not All Death is Physical

A Poem

Not all death is physical

Sometimes “living” is nothing more than a ritual

A thing we do to get through the day

Dragging ourselves from one event to another

Living task to task

Too afraid to ask for more

For help

While inside we yelp

No, we scream for more

For someone to be there

To help

To set us free from this self-imposed prison
