This Life

My name engulfed in hard cement

Departing serenely another day

And make their hurting souls lament

So they can heal and washed away



Forgotten sentiment of the living

Outweigh emotions of the dead

And now the white gates are giving

No comfort no water no bread



If the darkness is at full extent

Banished me solitary from light

And my bleeding heart will repent

Fade away from feeling and sight



Despite our eternity will always end

Regardless of the impediment battle field

And demise will soon become our friend

The heavens and hell will yield



So when my conclusion comes with grace

Forget retribution and past harms

And death be marked with a face

Of a friend with open arms

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this today after my health class. There was a movie about club drugs and a 15 year old girl 'Samantha Reid' was killed by a GHB overdose strong enough to kill 8 men. She wrote a poem when she was alive about if she died young and inspired by her work I wrote this for her.
