Footprints

A life, a story,

A sister, a friend.

I still can’t reason why,

Your journey had to end.

I try not to get angry.

Gee, how I’ve tried.

I’ve tried to see your anguish,

And the pain you felt inside.

But there is a certain stigma,

It’s something I wish I’d never heard,

I wish that it just wasn’t possible,

I wish that there was no such word.

Because life can be a roller coaster,

Most times it’s a bumpy ride,

But why did you have to get off,

And choose to suicide?

Your mommy is such a beautiful woman,

She was the apple of your eye.

You loved her so very much,

But she also keeps asking “Why”?

I know that your life

Was cut way too short,

I’ve tried adding up the logic,

And at times it comes to naught.

You were always searching for something,

But I’m not quite sure what,

You did everything with a passion,

You gave it your very best shot.

And life is not forever

Time only goes one way

And everyone will leave this earth

Everybody has that day

And all that is ever left

Are the memories to hand

To treasure against the tides of time

Like footprints in the sand
