In The Loving Memory Of HER Spirit

A soulful spirit covered in a mesmerizing body was once born
 Destined to live, smile, grow and eventually we’ll all mourn
 
 Her body lives but her spirit is non-existent
 The people that she needed most were always at a distant
 
 Through the walls that were put up, she was in distress
 Nobody cared, it was society she always had to impress
 
 Behind the mask of her persuasive smile
 Death remained to be her domicile
 
 Hoping this would be her resurrection
 Instead it was her crucifixion 
 
 So let me tell you who died the past days
 You may think in her casket, there she lays
 
 Within an unwritten obituary, where nobody cared
 And you wonder why she is currently dead
 
 I talk about the SHE
 That was in the bounds of you and me
 
 As we say in the loving memory
 Of a soul that lived without tranquillity
