Dying is not Living

by Stephanie Kent

Erasing your reflection
Smoothing away the defining lines
To make way for a mask
You are dying to fit

Subtle in its conciseness, intriguing in message, a unique look at the cliche "dying to ...".

Complex issues for so few words. Very well crafted and a lot to think about.

U make one ponder with such few lines and that is a great talent.

How bout Living To Die as an alternate? Otherwise I like the poem. Sounds inspired by those who've given up on life and purposely live dangerously. As Jimi Hendrix sang in All Along The Watchtower: to some life is but a joke.
