OPEN LETTER TO DEATH

You have hit me so deep that you have reached my bones until you got tired, you have taken away
to people and beings I loved more than anything and it has hurt me, it has hurt me so much that sometimes you have
I have managed to dig a thorn inside me that burns, tightens my chest, and doesn't let me breathe.

You have achieved what not even the world has achieved, you have made me fear you, you are the only thing that
I don't want to see or experience. I have ventured to do and undo, to know all that
it is out there, I have dared to jump, to travel and learn about other cultures, to overcome my most
big fears, and yet you still remain what I fear the most.

Life has presented me with happiness in its purest and most perfect state, and yet you have dared to
standing in front of me to take something that I wanted with all my soul. How dare you come like this, to
to stand in my house, without any invitation to intrude and tear a piece of me away? Who
What the hell do you think you are?

You are that surprise that doesn't excite me, the one that arrives sweeping away everything and everyone, and without warning.

announcement, just like a hurricane. You are so brazen that you show up to steal smiles
and to make flowers of pains and sufferings, regardless of nationalities, countries or religions, you are the
the only one that attacks everyone equally.

Although we are all different in this world, in some way your arrival is the same in
every corner. Regardless of social classes or languages, you arrive just as suddenly for the
poor for the rich, for those who live near or far, for those who pray to Jesus or to Buddha, for the
bandit and for the saint.

I have seen you face to face, you looked at me straight on and made it clear how heartless you are. I
you have made perfectly clear how strong you are, believe me. You have made me know pain more
deep, the one that seems to take a part of yourself with it, the one that makes you crumble and not
want to know nothing about the world.

I have begged you, I have pleaded on my knees for a little mercy, and you haven't cared a damn, not even
my tears or my pleas. You have managed to arrive and mock, to laugh at my pain and that of others,
so that later you can leave proudly taking a piece of me with you, as if it were a trophy.

A thousand times I have asked you with a scream in raw flesh the reason for your arrival, why to a certain
person, why when I was happiest, why now or not later and certainly why are you so
unjust. However, I know that those answers will not have and will not receive a response from you, nor from
part of nobody ever.

You have broken me so much that someone could have made a puzzle with all my pieces. You have

stumbles searching for answers and forgetfulness, someone who searches in memory for some solace.
Have you ever wondered all that you take away from people? Surely you know, you are the
specialist in that. You have caused the greatest pains, you have managed to provoke the goodbyes that
they can penetrate someone to the very depths of their being. At some point, we have all
I am trapped by the consequences that your arrival brings, and at the same time, you have made me a prisoner of...

What an irony that the only damn certainty of life itself is that one day, we all have to

But it smiles at us all the time.

I have learned that nothing is eternal, I have learned not to live in the lie that this is.

we ended up postponing things because we firmly believe that there will be a next day, a
next minute for us or for those around us, and it is not always like that.

In the end, I believe that we can all learn something from you, in a way we can all thank you.
a little because of your teachings. Teachings? Yes, because in the end, pain is something that teaches,
and that makes us much stronger if we manage to give it enough attention.

I have always believed that there is a reason why pain was given to us, because despite how much something...
it may hurt us, pain teaches. That pain makes us realize that we are much stronger
From what we thought, we can continue, put in effort and carry on with our heads held high.

In your case, when you arrive and take something that we love, you give us an opportunity that comes in
a certain gift wrapped in a bitter and horrible package, but in the end, it is a gift. You leave,
you leave us with a hole in our soul, but with the opportunity to be able to grow, learn something, and be

So when should we open that gift you left us? When we do, the pain will seem to be reborn.

we take all the necessary strength to go out again to try again or if we sink

You can come and take what I cherish most, but you don't have the power to take my strength or my
desire to move forward, my desire to love more, to want to live passionately all the little or
