facing it

i wonder, will my death cause discomfort for those who only kind of know me

will they think “why is she incapable of changing her circumstances?”

i think ‘they won’t even miss me’

how will my Lord forgive me for taking away his greatest gift? how do i tell them i'm not just writing poetry?
