Irrelevance

Life after death is insignificant 
It is simply ridiculous 
How do you pick up the pieces 
After the glass ceiling 
Has be shattered and broken 
No words need be spoken 
In this relinquished environment 
Lord, I’m so tired of this 
All determination has vanished 
My emotions running rampant 
Mutilated, defective, damaged 
Is who I have become 
What’s the point of optimism 
I’ve weathered many assaults 
But the loss of my son 
Is more tedious than any 
Circumstance and I wish 
I had just one chance
To go back in time 
And alter the timeline 
My life again would have relevance 
And not in a contingency of irrelevance
