Being Terminal

Being Terminal

A Poem by Onlyme

Being Terminal really puts life into
perspective when it hits you in the face.
I guess you must go from shock, horror,
devastation and upset. To be angry,
sad, depressed and numb.

So many emotions. So short a time.

A bucket list is added to things you
never did and would love to do. And
will if time prevails and you can do
succeed in doing them.

Quality time spent with loved ones.
And close ones. Like friends.
Times of laughter and tears.
Cuddles and sharing our feelings.

Or even just sit quite with that person
. So they know you care
and love them.


We are all born
and we  all will eventually in time die.
It's just we dont know when.
And that is the best way we deal with it.
As human beings.

Living life. For each new day ahead.
But when that fateful remark is said
to you outloud. Terminal.

You are then on a timer of no return.
Your life plan changes.

So enjoy each new day and tell loved ones
you really love them. For you never know
when that time might happen to you.

The stark reality of life. Taken from you far to
quickly and then you're gone forever.

True to the bones. Every line is a marvel of wisdom. It is amazing how we miss so much on life for we don't have the proper perspective on time and valuable moments. We are headed to that fateful point. Death is a must, but we must live to the fullest...Awesome, Dawn...
