So what of it?

So what of this life
lived and fought
sustained and survived
for years so long
they don't count anymore?

So what of this mind
that rejoiced and sorrowed
fretted and feared
that yearns to unburden
and just let be?

So what of this heart
that beat and faltered
loved and lost
that bled and drained
too tired to beat anymore?

So what of this body
groomed and perfumed
adorned and draped
when the soul struggles
to break free?
