"A Skeleton of Meaning" by Aimee, 15 | November 2019
Frail.
Yet still extraordinary,
Confident in its worth.
Though slowly withering away,
It brings grace to the meaning of death.
Must death always be ugly and tragic?
Is “beautiful death” an oxymoron?
Or can the absence of life be
A dainty web of beauty?
In the core of its essence
A skeleton of meaning,
That death is not always a tragedy,
That it can be beautiful.
About Aimee: "It’s been a long road finding myself, but now I’m more sure of who I am. I was brought to Passage because I had lost hope, but now I have acquired more enthusiasm and motivation for my life, and what it could become. Life is a wonder, and there’s so many things I have yet to experience and learn. There was a point in my life where I truly believed that life was not worth living, but my perspective drastically changed, and I now look at all the aspects of life that I had been missing. I only focused on the negative, and that perspective of doubt that life couldn’t get better sent me down what felt like an uncontrollable spiral of pain and suffering. But now, I’m working on bettering myself and my life. I no longer hold that perspective of hopelessness that brought me here. It’s a long and difficult process, but I believe in myself, and I have supports at Passage that believe in me too."
