every ten seconds someone is born and someone dies. this fact toys with my mind, does this mean emotionally and mentally also?? has someone reached nirvana or has someone accepted the fact that they cant live with themselves? every ten seconds does someone save themselves or does someone throw themselves into the temptation of the world because of loss?? does someone have to suffer every ten seconds or can someone learn to love again?? every ten seconds someone dies. what a fact. and yet it is proven correct every ten seconds. every damn ten seconds. loss of love is in the air in my home. loss of a child is in the air in my home. broken heart is in the air, all around. and yet it is a fact. that i have died, that my mother has died, that my sister and brother have died emotionally. loss is in the air. we breathe in heart ache and know that we will have to deal with these sufferings for the rest of our lives. pain and anger overcome us all yet we go through our lives feeling as alive as ever. we have all died. i have just died. and i think i will keep dying, every ten seconds..
