EPITAPH

She’s in a better place now
Away from platitudes like these
Away from those that minimalize
The loss…

She’s in a better place now
Where her story can be rewritten
By those who lived her life
For her…

She’s in a better place now
Where expectations can be aligned
To those whose ulterior agendas
Controlled her…

She’s in a better place now
Where she can just sleep
Not thinking, learning, or growing
Beyond them…

She’s in a better place now
Where her body no longer has to hold
The burdens of all those
That buried her…
