When people think of death,
They think that it is something sad,
They feel sad for that person.
Especially when a young one passes.
They had so much to live for.
So much feeling they had yet
To experience.
But,
Nobody ever thinks that death
Finally allows closure.
Allows peace.
It takes the person away
From eternal suffering
That eats them up
Day
By day.
They get so tired of waking up,
Feeling empty,
Knowing
That day will be the same
As the last.
Maybe death
Is more
Of a gift
Than
A curse.
