• 14:28 talking about death is so normal to me I don’t even think about life anymore #
• 02:51 if asked for a photo of myself i would offer one of me at 22 — 26 years ago it looked more like who i am today #

in the photo

he’s looking a tad drunk
his beard is full and dark
and he’s smiling

as if he could die tomorrow
feeling like he was perfectly entitled
to say he’d led a full life

when i knew him
he didn’t care and if he did something
dangerous

he would laugh it off
saying no one lives forever
so you might as well live

if i die tomorrow
i know the truth about full lives
and living is that every life ends

fully lived with its share
of heartache right alongside
the rush of not caring about it

he was mostly an idiot
which is why he looks so happy
i have forgotten how to fake that

and i envy him his incompleteness
but that smile’s still inside me
waiting to be plastered back on by someone else

on that day
when i do something dumbass
and pass on, life full and complete
