Eulogy

I can see the black box
I can see the flowers
I can see the sorrowed faces
I can see the tears
Jinxx, You were, no are my best friend
You could joke about anything
Make any day that much better
The toughest times make the strongest people
You may not have been able to see the world
But you saw people the way they are
Not by what they wear or how they look
Not by if they have short or long hair
A symmetrical face or a crooked one
It didn't bother you one bit
Weight, race, and gender, didn't even cross your mind
You saw people's beauty no matter what
Jinxx you were the best ******* basketball player I'll ever know
You could rock out like no one cared
Most of the time they didn't
You are the best friend a guy could ask for
I know one day soon we'll be together again
Some day really soon buddy
Remember,
Life is Good, life is great
Always love and never hate
Break the rules stand apart
Ignore your head and follow your heart
I know this isn't goodbye but it feels that way
I love you
Until we meet again I bid you farewell dear Jinxx

The Fighter

How did I get here?
Wait, I can't see
Anyone there? Hello?
Wait, I can't move!
What happened!?
All I wanted was to play basketball
How did it end up like this?

Life is like a box
You're inside
Concealed from light
You learn to live in the darkness
The sounds that your heard
Gave you light
Light of hope that precedes truth
Acceptance of change is a struggle
You have to learn again

But I didn't falter

It all happened in a flash
I didn't know my condition could lead to this
Darkness within with no light to breath
I cried infinitely hoping I could see again
But there's still no light

Only in dreams were my paradise
Faces of mom & dad
My siblings being bullied by me as always
Playing lead guitar on stage in front of thousands
Andy singing:
"We follow the morning star
A light where darkness trailed
The passion left unholy
Now you find yourself!"

Music helps me breathe
The tune flowing through my veins
Like blood streaming to my heart
Giving me light
Pumping everytime
Reminding me, there's still hope

I don't know how long I can live with the darkness
Not being able to move
Reliance to my parents who never gave up on me
A burden i see myself to those I hold dear
But they keep telling me
"We will never give up on you!"

And so,
I tell myself

*I will live life to the fullest
Even in this world of darkness
I will take flight
I will pull through
I will try my best to open this box
Until I see the light

This is dedicated to my new friend on HP, Jinxx:)
He's a fighter. He was diagnosed with a condition that cause him to be paralyzed from the waist down and blindness.
Despite this mishap, he still continues to be active on HP.
I read his works. And immediately i thought,
"I have to write about him!"
All those who are reading this. Please pray for him in hopes that he will recover soon! Repost or like to show him that we care. And go check out his account, he writes brilliantly:)
We are always with you Jinxx!

So the Sun loved the Moon

So the sun loved the moon,
He died everyday to let her live

Every evening the moon would rise
Her beloved sun would set
He would grasp on to the night
He always failed

The moon shed tears
They came to be known as stars
She would sulk in her sorrows
Once every month she was able to escape

And be with her beloved sun

#love #death #sun #moon #stars

The Storm

Your face shows calm waters*
That you couldn't be better

But your eyes rage a storm
The lightning crackles within them

The wind whips at your soul
The pieces join the debris

The memories scattered away
Your heart shattered on the ground

You may say it, but
You're not okay

*I am not okay
