A monument stands tall
Encapturing in its sheer face a memory of long ago
A man, perhaps a woman
Dare I say, a child?

Not venturing closer
I try to imagine
I knew them not
Yet they are etched deep into my current being

Searching for answers
I am only finding new questions
When there is a monument for me
Will anyone wonder about me?

How did they exit this existence?
Were they prepared, or seized unaware
Youth, perhaps full of years
Now interred forever under their personal monument

Underneath my granite obelisk
I yearn to educate myself
Perhaps my own existence will be soon forgotten
My monument, one among many

Failing to draw attention
As in life
Bringing as much misery
As in life

Alone in a crowd
As in life
Falling into despair
As in life

Unable to shed tears
Unable to face fears
Unable to erase years
As in life.
