there is nothing worse than
a crisp realisation,
that too, a little too late,
which makes it
a little too unfortunate,
that all of this time
you have been more of
a prison than a prisoner!

I’m not afraid of death either. It’s what happens after breakfast that scares me…….

It’s similar to one of Annie Lennox’s lyrics – dying is easy it’s living that scares me to death……
