what is it like to watch someone die
lifeless laying lacking energy to speak
eating is a task for the weak who feel without
the same strength and provisions that were her only life mission
what is it like to watch someone die
to look straight into their eyes
and see the pain of their demise
to cry and cry and cry
and know that
in the end
her soul will simply have to rise
what is it like to watch someone die
to know that you are helpless
couldn't give her your own life if you tried
hands tied behind your back
that stares at the wall
tall and cold
behold the future
without her touch once more
About Me
- selfreliance
- New York City
- I AM a sister, an aunt, a friend, a granddaughter, a realist, an educator, a lover of learning. I AM NOT someone who settles for mediocracy or status quo, who gives up easily, who shirks away from responsibility, or who believes that people cannot change if they truly want to. I FEAR very little. I WANT for people to remember me for the impact I have hopefully made on the next generation of leaders of this country. I NEED to express myself through writing and lyric. I LIVE for myself, my family, and my friends, respectively. I LONG to see a day where people are solely judged by the content of their character but will settle for my children seeing it instead.
