The Question

Yes, I know we are

All born to die.

I genuinely do know this,

With all that I have lost.

And this very fact is

The reason that I wish

I had no children,

No sisters,

No brothers,

No nieces,

No nephews,

No friends,

No one to grieve for,

No one to suffer for me.

There would be no pain!

But what is life then,

I ask,

Without pain,

Without someone

To grieve for,

Without someone

To weep for me?
