How we die…

We die when we fail to feel.

We fail to feel when we

can't be bothered to care.

Trendy nihilism. We can't

be bothered to care

when we see only

ourselves.

We die when we feel too much.

We feel too much when each word

stings. Hamlet's ailment. So cliché.

Doesn't make the suffering less.

We feel too much when we care

too greatly.

We care too greatly

when we lose our sense

of self.
