"It's Alright" I hate those words Because when dealing with death They are complete lies
But what should I say Should I lie and tell him It's alright When I know that isn't true
Should I burden him with the truth That it's not alright And his hero is now a ghost Never to return
I think and I try To find somehing else to say But my mind blanks When I need it most
So I lie And tell him It's alright Because I don't know what else to say
This is the beginning of a a series of poems about death and the journey that we take in dealing with it with this being the beginning and ending at acceptance and growing from it.
