A Death CelebratedA Poem by Whitney KleinhuizenFighting for a lost life, misunderstood by all. While her, herself misunderstood the world as well.
Born into the world and robbed of a life
A constant struggle to keep her head above water Barely able to catch a breath Before weights wrapped around pull her under again Always trying to be good enough Fighting to make anyone proud A failure in over her head, flailing around Amounting to a nothing and a no one From the shore, just another eyesore Making too many waves as she thrashes about Beyond extreme exhaustion, she's giving her all Kicking with everything she has and everything she is But everything she is has never been enough Sinking into dark waters Beneath the unknown and finally lost of breath She opens her eyes as water floods the lungs Just another disappointment to everyone Until she hears the muffled sounds of applause and celebration Realizing then, this is what they wanted all along To be rid of such a burden, the end of a wasted life If only she had known this, she would have given up a long, long time ago And to her delicate wrist, would of taken a knife © 2012 Whitney KleinhuizenReviews
