Playing It Safe

The definition of death is "the termination of all biological functions that sustain a living organism". But many people died long ago while still breathing and continued going through the motions until finally their bodies gave out. I think that most people die long before the last breath leaves their body. I will die when I decide the world is too much and lock myself away from it in hopes to keep myself safe. The moment I decide living is too dangerous is the day that I truly die. The day I can no longer enjoy myself for fear of death is the day it will overtake me.
