I've had several near death experiences. I swear I've got a reaper following me waiting for me. Gnarly car accidents. Complications from surgeries. Complications from medications. The night I tried to take my life and almost succeeded. In 2021, they found my left lung covered in blood clots. Pulmonary Embolisms kill people every single day. My ability to breathe was nearly taken from me. But somehow I keep living. All these traumatic near death experiences, almost made me feel at peace with death. Not when loved ones die, I don't handle that well. But with my own. I came to peace that it'll happen. So I just try to love as hard as I can each day, so I can say I made it worth it when I finally accept the Grim's hand one day.

Writing poems since before I knew what poetry meant. Maybe, that's why I never kept a single one. Not until my heart broke open did I start keeping my words.
