An insight gained from a life lost

It’s unclear how it started but it’s come to an end
The death of someone I didn’t know; the death of a friend
Regardless of our understanding; death doesn’t need to pretend
Its fragility is evident; regardless of our standing it doesn’t need to bend
It remains with us every moment of the day, you never know when
Your time is marked for its end; for death isn’t biased 
It gets the rich and poor, the independent and those reliant
There is no way to defy it not even with science
And evil deeds wither just like the prayers of the pious


She cried and told me he died speeding while driving
And that such a fate to someone so good had no sense behind it
I know it’s in no fair but nothing really is; some live blinded
Some live long and some die way before their time its
Unfair but tell me what’s more fair then an equal outcome that’s timeless
She said there’s a difference between being sad and affected
The pain in sadness drifts away but to be affected last more then seconds
It sticks and it stays and you think how unfair it was for something to be taken away
I’m amazed by her grace; tears of heartache roll down her face; I want to say
How she shouldn’t cry but maybe my philosophy on death needs to changed
I felt like death was such inevitability that people shouldn’t feel amazed
And whether they melted away or were brave; to let it settle in a place
A place very real where acceptance replaces sadness when facing a loss
And if tears help you heal and use them at any cost, accepting it as the only things lost
Because a life that impacted your life in such away always stays
In our heart their impact lasts and will always have a place to resonate
Just know that time heals and everyone will face the same fate


Everyone dies; people lose love ones and we cry; crying isn’t mindless
I told her that life was meant to be celebrated as least how I hope mine is
See, I want people to care now when I am happy and in no crisis
Because it won’t matter that after I’m gone that someone said I was the nicest


I don’t want people to cry when I die after my soul is lifeless
I just want them to know that this life full of good and bad is priceless
Everyday is a gift, every second a joy; so from today let’s change our mindset
Say I love you to someone today; a simple testament to how precious life is
