Search Signal

her voice was an echo

across the loneliness

of the internet

a search signal

her YouTube channel

a diary of illness

and the price we pay

for wholeness

pouring her soul

into a screen that

didn’t give her

validation or

contentment

or the intimacy

of another’s judgment

she left a legacy

of broken sound waves

bouncing off the ears

of those fortunate enough

to hear her story
