Is it worth it ?


 Death

Is death worth it?

 

No pain

No Shame

Just your body

Flesh without soul


In a never awakening sleep

No one bothers you

No one makes fun of you


It’s not like middle or high school

Where I wish I never went too

Just eternal rest


Some cry, other laughed

But maybe in a year, or two

No one will remember my name.


Beloved daughter;

It’ll say on the top of my grave.

But deep down, for them

It’s Hakuna Matata


For you have become no more

No more worries or pain

A worry-free life, for them

With you out of the way


Your friends say,

We missed her

But

They’re still in middle school

And they continue to live,

Without you

Continue to live their lives,

For yours is no more


You always heard your parents say,

Tomorrow, you’ll be out on your own,

Have your own family.

Live your life.


If only they had known,

Tomorrow is the day where you would be,

No more


So tell me, my friends and family?

Is death worth it?
