A wooden box, deep down in a hole
I tried to look away but I couldn't
My eyes got fixed on a piece of soil
I wanted to reach and touch it so bad
I guess that's how I fell down
Or so it seemed to other people
I just wanted to lie on the ground
With what was you before
Which was something else now
Decaying, growing into other things
It made me sick
I had thrown up countless times
Thinking about it
Still, I couldn't let go
I couldn't take my eyes away
From the shiny box and the matte piece of soil
Till I half-hated being human
Half-hated the life I have to live along with others
And half-hated the mind I have to carry
It was not joy I realized
It was more of a burden
That's what life was

I wish I had lied longer that day
On your new home in the ground
And waited, my arms crossed over my chest
Maybe someone would have been crazy enough
To burry me with you
A poem about how death changes you.
