We die a little bit
Each day and each night
As we live every minute
Gleeful or glum under the light.

We die in our sleep
And rise again if we’re lucky
And blessed. This is deep
Few people are truly canny or savvy.

Believe not in all the glitters
When it’s time to go or to depart
Gravity behaves like deadly creatures.

We die every day and every night
A little mum or sharp under the weight
As darkness exists deep in the heart.

I miss you everyday
These constant reminders dig into my brain
Like thousands of miners
Deep underground

I miss you all the time
Wishing you were here with me still
Longing to hug you
One last time

I miss you more then ever
Even after almost a year
The pain radiates in every beat
Of my still alive heart
Life might not be fair, but if you focus enough, on the merits of life, you will see the beauty of life, you will feel the warm embrace, the clarity of acceptance.

There will always be two sides, only you can choose which you see. The dark one may be the easiest, but it is also the hardest, you can always end up here, but only few can leave, like a dark, cold and empty abyss, while the light is the guiding flame in the dark abyss.

We go to bed, in belief of waking up in the morning, enjoy life while you still can, live each day as if there's no tomorrow, talk to your loved ones, as if you won't meet them again, leave no regrets for death is inevitable, if you do you, life might pass before your eyes, don't fret, if something goes wrong, there is an infinite amount of choices ahead.

Death must not be the end, but a new beginning, for those who seek to learn acceptance and moving on.

The feelings that come up when we lose someone are
numb
disbelief, shock,
All of this is normal.
The reaction to death happens in zigzag ways
surprising us with levels of intensity
for a longer period than we thought possible
we have to trust that all that is happening is part of the healing
Mourning is a signature experience, unique to each person-- and at each loss-- in form, duration, and impact.
We may experience tears
Feel sadness that someone is gone
Angry that he or she was taken from us.
We are afraid of the emptiness we will feel now.
i did a blackout poem for school in  4th grade and i found it and i wanted to share it.  everyone thought i was so deep when i wrote it and called it dark and blah blah but i was just way ahead of them lol, anyways hope u enjoy

When Ozzy Osborne died,
The **** store workers didn’t care.
They said, go get your green ******* hippie,
Get out of my hair.
I said isn’t he your savior,
Prince of darkness don’t they say?
He said I told you once already?
Go the hell away
Rest well ozzy 🫶🏻

I feel it all the time, eating away at me.

It hurts my heart, breaking it down slowly.

These feelings never end, they're with me all the time, torturing me endlessly, making me regret being alive.

My heart has felt so much of it, that it has shriveled up. My heart is now a shell of what it once was.

My heart is empty, now. It became empty the moment you died, life without you feels impossible.

What is my purpose, anymore?

What is my life even worth, when all I feel is pain every single moment, of every single day?
yet another "poem" about my fiancée, she was the best part of my life. after her death i wrote many poems about her, maybe too many. but my therapist said it would be a good way to cope with things, so here it is. hope you enjoy it. i will be away for the rest of the day now, be well.

He was 54 years old but that was still too young to go.
He starred as Theodore Huxtable on 'The Cosby Show'.
He was asphyxiated and he drowned.
It's sad because he's no longer around.
He was a very talented man and that's certainly true.
He starred on 'The Cosby Show' from 1984 until 1992.
Malcolm had skill and charisma and it definitely showed.
When he starred in 'Listen Up', he starred in all 22 episodes.
People are sad because he's no longer here.
Sadly, he lost his life after living for 54 years.
Dedicated to Malcolm-Jamal Warner (1970-2025) who died on July 20, 2025

What does success even mean
If we all die in the end?
An intense fear of death
Yet a burning hatred of life
A life of yearning for a lover's breath
For which we struggle and writhe

An inherent distaste for pain
But a cruel need to deal so to others
We try to stay calm yet struggle in vain
And refuse to rely on our sweet mothers

Silence can comfort but also destroy
Noise can be a comfort of sorts
Life can be full of love and joy
And can also be very short
