To deal with this hurdle, I decided to write something to ease my worried thoughts I visited you before the sun set and before the moon made its appearance It reminds me of the time I’ll visit my grandmother and see her in her worst state, same with you Seems as though I’m grieving already but I know you’ll be here long but till the universe calls your name, I admired you for who you are in my life I love you, I love you after the universe calls me home I love you after the world ends and I’m not able to stand on my own You've taught me the best of the best, to keep fighting and pushing through but to see my hero on ground zero is detrimental to the soul Till the universe calls your name, I’ll give the world to show that you deserve everything good coming your way Things happen for a reason and the reason to be, shame how tragedy had to strike for me to appreciate you I love you till the universe calls your name, I love you after the bridge has fallen down I love you, I love you, I love you so much, there are no words in the English dictionary to describe how I feel about you Till the universe calls your name.

TILL THE UNIVERSE CALLS YOUR NAME

To deal with this hurdle, I decided to write something to ease my worried thoughts I visited you before the sun set and before the moon made its appearance It reminds me of the time I’ll visit my grandmother and see her in her worst state, same with you Seems as though I’m grieving already but I know you’ll be here long but till the universe calls your name, I admired you for who you are in my life I love you, I love you after the universe calls me home I love you after the world ends and I’m not able to stand on my own You've taught me the best of the best, to keep fighting and pushing through but to see my hero on ground zero is detrimental to the soul Till the universe calls your name, I’ll give the world to show that you deserve everything good coming your way Things happen for a reason and the reason to be, shame how tragedy had to strike for me to appreciate you I love you till the universe calls your name, I love you after the bridge has fallen down I love you, I love you, I love you so much, there are no words in the English dictionary to describe how I feel about you Till the universe calls your name.

I’m afraid I’ll become another statistic Another body hanging from a closet because I felt lonely Another number, added to a presentation explaining why mental health matters I’m afraid I’ll become a trigger Become a warning Become a body in a casket, birthday plastered on a gravestone Broadcasting how young I was and how little I lived I’m afraid I’ll become another story Another body whose soul was taken a long time ago Another face, with comments saying rest in peace and begging that people take mental health seriously I’m afraid I’ll become a trigger Become a memory Become a body whose not present, making dinner conversations uncomfortable Broadcasting the grieving of loved ones I’m afraid

Hands didn’t match Deep, knew this wasn’t going to last long We touched bodies Didn’t tell any secrets Neither of us trusted each other that much We laid still for an hour or so Before one body left the other That body felt hypnotized Proud The other body felt satisfied Dishonest Those hands didn’t match nor did the intention Body two thought it’ll last Body one admired the hope

Light me up Connect your body Whisper words I’ve never heard Mourn the emotions you miss Close your eyes Miss every skin touched Every neck kissed Light me up With secrets you can’t keep

I've shamed myself for giving a **** Not realizing that was a gift Still able to feel after all these years

I hope I'm alive in somebody's heart Changing my mindset on my own worth I hope I'm alive in somebody's heart Keeping me alive with every beat in their pulse

Took me some time to accept you Took me some time to appreciate you But my whole entire existence is surrounded by you I get out the shower Curls wet Step #1. Take an old, raggedy *** t-shirt or a microfiber towel and damp the curls semi-dry Step #2. Take a detangle brush, start from the ends of your hair and comb up to the roots of your hair Took me some time to learn you, how to care for you Step #3. Take a small comb and part your hair down the middle, which will expose your scalp Step #4. Take some oil and oil the curls, massage the oil into your scalp I was once told you’re all I got, got a pretty face but with you, I’m on top of the list Strangers telling me not to cut you off You make me different, worth loving Step #5. Take some hair moose and comb it through your hair Step #6. Take some hair honey or some leave in conditioner and comb that through, too Step #7. Then, take some hair gel and scrunch it up in your hair so it can make the curls pop I question, if I ever leave you, would I still be desirable? Would I be worth every compliment I was ever given, even as a child? Step #8. Take the old t-shirt and scrunch the ends of the curls and from there, you can air dry or use a diffuser How come I take care of you but you don’t take care of me? Repeating affirmations on how much I love you Women comb their fingers through you, wishing they had you Men telling me I’m attractive, all while staring you up and down, with a slick smile on their face Took me some time to know that you are not me Still have time to understand that I don’t need you Careful with my words cause the universe likes to prove people wrong but how come my existence is revolved around you? How come I understood self-love through you, even though you never taught me how to love myself without you?
