He Wasn’t the Best at Anything
He certainly wasn't the best at anything, though he tried. It's something, perhaps, that he was best at: trying. He tried many things. He'd probably wish he tried more. But the one thing, I think we can all agree, he definitely should not have tried...was to wrestle that alligator.
Eulogy
The neighborhood of Catlanta will be eternally grateful to Maria Iqbal, who passed away while attempting to tame a ferocious feline beast ravaging the neighborhood upholstery. Her last words will stay with us forevermore, “ITS SO FLUFFY, I’M GONNA DIEE”. We knew her to be always true to her word.
Chiseled Notch
She wildly blazed with searing heat
flared love and emotion into sultry air
cleared darkness so sun could beam
chiseled a notch to leave her spark
fiery words and serious writings
painted wildfire stroked on canvas
flames of laughter and smolders of grief
waft ignited essence to next generation.
hamster wheel
At last it came.
Struggle ended
hamster wheel
stopped
with perpetually perceived
inadequacy’s
final pulse.
Smile. Quit staring,
he's stopped
comparing
life to those
who seem
dissatisfied with
theirs.
His friends and family
the riches while waiting
for struggle’s end.
It stopped.
He thanks you
from his stilled heart.
She Left a Note
"Despite Appearances
Allison remained Hopeful
Fiercely independent
Rebellious and Loving
And so Empathic
To all Things
The Empathy followed her
Hovering like Burden
But in the End
It held Her Hand
As She Forgave herself
For Her difficult Decision
To take Her own Life
So, don't be sad. It's ok.
Love,
Allison"
