My Ghost, Where'd You Go

We have voiced our thoughts

Tearing away from religion

Many think you’re not worth it

The pain you may cause

The stress

The money

But what about your love

Your relationship with me and others

Your rights to live here on Earth

They get stolen and unheard

What would you be

A student

A teacher

A doctor

You’re thought of as a speck

One that cannot be heard

You were torn from here

As though you were simply nothing

But now we know that you are home

In a place far away from this

Bitter world

Many have made a choice

But it is one that is not up to them

You are the love in our hearts

You are joy in our lives

You are the spirit we wish to surround us

Though you are here no more

This is not the end

We can still change what is coming

And make it better for the future

For people like you,

Little and growing,

Yet not considered life.
