Beautiful Cynthia
February 14, 2017
Crippled
Incapable
Delayed
She never walked
Born without crucial bones
Listless
Dependant
Pointless
Her life held no meaning
For she could do nothing but lay there
Hot
Sick
Depressing
Her death came so quickly
After years she finally let go
Painless
Eternal
Joyful
Now she dances with angels
Leaving her crippled body behind

@DuckLover I read a comment that you posted on another author’s article saying you wished people commented more on your work. I just want to say that this is a GORGEOUS piece and you deserve recognition. I read the description about your great aunt dying and how you knew she was in a better place. The last line really resonated with me. Beautiful job and keep it up.
I was inspired to write this piece by my loved great-aunt that passed away recently. I had to remind myself of how happy she can finally be, and how much of a blessing it was that she finally came to rest, where she will never suffer.
