Here Lies a Woman

Here lies a woman that drowned in her thoughts
A thought was only deep enough
If you could suspect that those stars
That seemed to reflect on the surface
Were pieces of soul glimmering on the bottom

Here lies a woman that never slept
She thought she could escape the day
Falling in love with the night
It was never possible to live her dreams
Reality always stayed by her side

Here lies a woman that lived on her knees
So full of mistakes and errors
Pride, vanity, and self-righteousness
An endless fight to achieve humility
Prayer was the only way to survive herself

Here lies a woman that talked too much
She stood up for her rights and wrongs
Fought for her principles and opinions
Never sat down when she couldn´t stand up as a good example
Sorry to never have improved the silence

Here lies a woman that wasted her time
Victim of her fear of procrastination
Afraid to never be able to make it
Trying to always be busy
She was walking but felt like she wasn´t moving

Here lies a woman that strived for perfection
Trying to become someone else
Though figthting to always remain herself
She was meant to leave us with the message
That good is the enemy of best

Here lies a woman with a big and warm heart
Embracing every opportunity to serve
Every day her capacity to love grew bigger
Thanks to all those persons she loved
That never understood what they meant to her

Here lies a woman that smiled at life
Not because she was never sad
Never in despair or never discouraged
Living the Golden Rule is the only way
When you want life to smile back at you

Here lies a woman that opened doors
Built bridges and tore down walls
It was worth every strife and effort
And no road was never too long
The destination being the heart of a friend

Here lies a woman that never stopped searching
Questions without answers
Answers with no question
The only thing she end up finding
Were more reasons to not stop looking

Here lies a woman that was good enough
She was kind and generous
Tender, loving, and caring
Destined from the eternities
To live this life trying to make a difference

Here lies a woman that wanted more
Thirsty for rigteousness never achieved
She fought for her right to be special
She wouldn´t give in to conformity
Knowing it would take away her individuality

Here lies a woman that believed in love
In gentlemen and in unicorns
A world full of magic
As soon as we leave prejudice aside and decide
To live in it in peace with everybody else

Here lies a woman that was misunderstood
Left alone with her excentrities
Ideas, thoughts, and interests
Few people made an effort to get to know her
And see who she really was

Here lies a woman that thus never got to know
If she was loved and appreciated
If she meant the world to someone
She would have given her life for a hug
But Tomorrow arrived without her

Here lies a woman that was full of hope
But she won´t be lying here much longer
United with her hopes and dreams, now all fulfilled
Laughing, singing, and even dancing
She will be rising from forgotten to eternal life
