LIGHTER THAN AIR By Christi Marie O'Donnell, 16, from a small town in the Northeast
I wander, Bewildered, Through this maze of flesh and tears And wonder why they cry At your happiness. You deserve better. A party (no cake or ice cream) In your honor. We should celebrate! Your battles won. March 20, 1980- November 10, 1997 17 years old Where are the real numbers? 124 118 113 107 103 98 They should be there, too. After all, those were your life. I look at myself, Seething with envy at Your achievement, Gliding on your golden wings, You're finally lighter than air.

Have you seen Garden State? It embodies that feeling of displacement you're describing. Zach Braff talks about it in his blog too. http://www2.foxsearchlight.com/gardenstate/blog/

LIGHTER THAN AIR
By Christi Marie O'Donnell, 16, from a small town in the Northeast
I wander,
Bewildered,
Through this maze of flesh and tears
And wonder why they cry
At your happiness.
You deserve better.
A party
(no cake or ice cream)
In your honor.
We should celebrate!
Your battles won.

They should be there, too.
After all, those were your life.
I look at myself,
Seething with envy at
Your achievement,
Gliding on your golden wings,
You're finally lighter than air.
