Poem

No Other Way

Hers was always lacking

She expected so much

Felt so deeply

She never knew the right way to smile

It was growing up that taught her

But loss that made her

She was strong but in efforts, most unspoken

Most of the time

The cards had been laid out before her

They were already dealt before she made her request

“Spirit”, that was for those who longed to live after death

She wanted to live in life.

Always trying so hard

Never fully getting anything

Hers was tears of sorrow

For that kind of love,

That had never noticed her.

Continuous defeat

Continuous lacking

Her best bet was to let things happen naturally

In their own way

But that never worked either,

Usually things and people went away

Oh, if life were to give her some comfort

Naturally was not her forte

Forcefully was.

Maybe that was her main issue

Maybe her demise.

She knew no other way.
