"A room without books is like a body without soul." -Marcus Tullius Cicero


Join her, join her
Courageous, strong, and free
Fight for her, fight for her
And meet her by the tree

Strong as she weeps, strong as she smiles
Stronger than most of the adjourn
Even as her friends join the piles
"Fight on," we cry as she starts a silent mourn

A simple sign, a simple cry
Tears wept with sadness and feeling
Soul shattered and heart reeling
She hides the madness with a lie

Endless pain, endless tears
No one will help them face their fears
An empty mantra, an empty call
Empty will be her endless fall

Lost her mind, lost her will
Lost from the start, she keeps the bill
A bill too expensive to be paid before
An item that saves not her core

Gone, gone, gone is she
Gone, gone without a plea
Not one can help her, not even me

Right a wrong she will try,
Without a fight she will die
As will you, as will I, and join her in the endless sky.

As TheSkyOwesMeRain said, the rhyming does not sound forced. This poem is fluid and beautiful.

Life isn&#039;t measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments which take your breath away.<br /> <br /> You are only as strong as your weakest link.

Wow great! This is one of the few poems in which the rhyming doesn't sound forced either, which is refreshing :)
