When the Lights Go Out
<p><br/></p><p>What happens after I die? Not in theory, not in belief(we all know there's heaven and hell) but in the raw, terrifying stillness that waits beyond the last breath. The idea of death has haunted me for the longest time. Yes, I'm terrified of the fire and judgement but what scares me the most is....nothing. A blank space. No thoughts. No dreams. Just... silence.</p><p><br/></p><p>Can the mind grasp what it means to "not" exist? I fear pain, yes but I fear nothingness even more. The thought that one day i’ll close our eyes and never open them again, that there will be no “me” left to even miss the light. That! That is the real ghost that follows me.</p><p><br/></p><p>Is that where I'll go? Into a void too deep for memory, too still for time? Maybe death isn’t a place, but the absence of place. The mind, stripped of itself. The soul, folding in like breath pulled from a flame.</p><p><br/></p><p>And yet, I live. I write, speak, and ache in rebellion of that silence. Maybe the real reason I fear the void is because deep down, I've never felt more alive than when I am running from it.</p>
