My grandma’s sister died this week, and for a second I thought her lucky. How death graced her like an old friend at a slumber party. Her eyes still as she asleep lay, unbeknownst to her that life was keeping a secret. He was leaving her that night - the longest relationship she ever had. The news came in the morn and though she was old, it came as a shock still. I thought to myself, ain’t it strange how one has to succumb to death before their pain is noticed. Do I have to die too before you see me? To her that knows death more than I do, Pain was your only friend in that hour but remember where you go no on can follow but the hopes and prayers of your rest. So I hold my breath and my heart sinks and I hope, so dearly hope you knew the life that Christ was and rest he would be to you now. Goodbye grandma.

Eulogy to my grandma’s sister.
We are drop dripping droplets in blue ocean Waters , fountains We are beautiful Like the sunset and the sunrise Like the you that my heart longs for Fitting like a jigsaw puzzle I will be the Eve to ur Adam Bond strongly like an atom I will send petals to your roses And we will flow like the fountain soar like a Phenix I will wait for our heart beats to harmonize Then I will sing to you my Melody I'll sing to you my song As our fingers intertwine​, soft skin Our breaths, mere whispers in the wind. Just you and I.

You and I
As I think about the distance, I start to crave your brilliance. I dream to see you for an instant. Without thinking of you my words have no sentence, And I question my existence. When I look at the sky, I think about the time. If talking to you is a crime, l am willing to do the time. How fast will it fly? How much will I try? Your voice is like a drug Only made to get me high. Why are you so unique? How are you so complete? You're someone I cannot critique, As you always bring me relief. To you, I can write a song About how your heart's so big And how my soul you rigged, How our hearts just clicked. Unlike my future profession, Your care  I do not question, Yes you are the person.

Her
breath, you seem to be running away mind, you seem to be lost time, oh time you've never cared life, you seem to have forgotten me I'm trapped, trapped in a four corned room a empty blank walled cell an abyss of black nothingness a prison my limbs are heavy but my eyes won't close my double-minded heart is a stone so I'm sinking and I'm drowning drowning with my eyes wide open drowning with an anchor tired to my foot drowning with my eyes wide open for all who are wondering what it feels like to drown well it feels like nothing it's empty I want to move but I have forgotten how I want to scream but my lips are locked shut so I let myself fall I let myself drown, and Maybe I deserve it infact I know I deserve it I was living as a shadow of a shadow of myself not knowing if I was ever going to live beyond this shadow of a person I've lived like this for so long it seems so endless. This is my state of mind. Fight they say but fighting isn't that easy but then again no-one ever said it was And honestly I'm tired of fighting and being strong why do we fight why should we fight why do I fight if everything I do is worth nothing If all of it means less than that of the life of a goldfish then why should I, tell me why and maybe I'll listen maybe I'll change stop me from breaking before I stop breathing don't let me keep falling grab my hand and pull me to the surface but you never listened, did you? you never noticed that my heart stopped beating never saw that I was burning and I was drowning And I know it makes no sense to you but it does to me I asked and I cried but you still let me fall You still let me drown breath you never came back mind you were never found time you never waited life you never remembered me no one did even after all I've said I can't really explain to you my pain I'm waiting for the day when I can I'll wait to be saved
