To those youth who committed suicide to academic pressure

AN EPITAPH
Thy life lies motionless on the bed,
On thy face serenity unabated.
As who should say that thy head,
[Now resting a little tilted on a white pillow] made
Ingenious ideas that could thwart --
All thy rivals , however clever they wert.
Thy face is now the picture of peace profound.
Thy soul has completed another cycle round;
Of birth and death, on Earth and Heaven ,
A far way thee are gone , amid the constellations seven.
Far, far , leaving us behind,
Farther than where any mortal can find.
farther than the farthest of me to bring thee back;
I can only sob , die heart –broke and follow thy track.
“Wake up dear friend , prove wrong thy early end”
Fulfill this only prayer of each of thy friend.
But now I realize that it can never be –
Dark voids and memoirs shall take place of thee.
Thy eyes so curious , has closed so young;
So fresh are martyred , thy prospects strong.
In heaven above , in God”s love , there is no time;
no ‘Past’ , nor Future, only ‘Preset’ ‘s regime.
But ‘Past’ stabs us , here , on Earth
Thy memories sad ,creeps into all our mirth.
I know you would love to see my eyes merry and dry
To see me smile gay, I’m failing whatsoever I try.
Now that the coffin is nailed , now that it is lowered;
Now that the last chunk of soil is delivered --
I fight against it , whatsoever --
It deeply impresses me , thee are gone .. FOREVER
