Knowing life’s wandered far
Knowing death has come to where you are
Learning the things potpourri
The living weren’t to ever see
Learning of before the birds and the bees
Learning of after catastrophes
Staring blankly at that single spot
Certain that certain things just can’t be bought
In that silence and solitude
A smile breaks the mood
A single smirk
On your face, it shall lurk
Timid and strong
You fit yet don’t belong
Captive yet free
Blind and yet you can see
A mass of contradictions
As you lie there without restrictions
What had always held you down
Seems insignificant this time around
Staring at corners
Wary of mourners
Because death shouldn’t be feared
As you know once your mind was cleared
The pulling at your heart
The worries from the start
The questions in your mind
The problems you left behind
The ticking of the clock
The future you must walk
The walls and ceiling meet
The embrace become your corner sweet
Backed up against it
You are split
Banished to it
You are unfit
But from where you lie
Staring at it by and by
You are stronger than you’ve ever been
Feeling no regret nor chagrin
At the time which you should be the weakest
You finally understand the deepest
Staring at corners still
You have regained your will
As death encroaches
A new life approaches
A light for your darkest hours
No need for tears and bundles of flowers
Because in this moment
You know your life was potent
And you smile and close your eyes
And you and those corners say your goodbyes
