she took her life...for all who could no longer hold on

she flew so high,

but alone she felt.

the night and its

shadows,

so cruelly dealt.

without the spotlight

and glare,

to drive away her pain.

without the noise and

the moments,

the cold, ice and rain.

those moments under

the smile.

dark clouds behind

her eyes.

the weight of her sorrows

she could no longer hide.

and we who sit here,

blessed to survive,

we cry for all those

who forgot the joys

of just being alive.
