The Art of Dying


The adrenaline rush that steals your heartbeat, brings an unsteady dance to your finger tips, and makes it difficult to breathe. Its Heaven and Hell tied together by a thin string. Its a beautiful, terrible experience. Red-hot heat that you wish wouldn't reveal itself, but the smile that comes involuntary to your lips, you want to experience it every moment of every day. In that one second you felt you were dying, you had never been more alive. You could hear the pounding of your heart, the butterflies pinching your stomach; everything inside of you working like paddles. You feel as if you were brought back to life. You realize that you want to experience this feeling until the day you die.
