Memphis Storm Nov 2018
Dead. Her brown gentle curls sprawling around on the concrete, slowly being touched with blood. Soft brown eyes, so wide of shock and fear of the events that had just occurred. Her body lays there mangled, and her limbs in every which direction in a uncomfortable position, not that she would feel it anyway. Her once yellow summer dress filled with white flowers is now stained an ugly rust red.
     Gone. What once was filled with the very essence of pure life, now gone and is left with an empty shell. No longer will she walk down those bright city streets. No longer will she lay against the old tree, sketching out the ducks swimming in the pond. No more laughter to fill the deadly silence of a boring afternoon. No more pointless conversations just to talk about everything and anything. That’s all gone.
     Forever. She’s never coming back, not like when she would leave for work or go out for lunch with her many friends. She’s not going to come through the door and say “I’m home!” Or those soft “I’m back.” She’s never going to be here, not with me, and not with anyone. She is no more, like a flower, the most beautiful ones are picked and become dead. Forever she is gone and dead.

Dear Cancer,
For what reason is there to take someone precious?
Causes so much heartache, it causes so much depression.
To take someone we love, up to the sky above.
To hurt us in the heart, so much it makes us breathless, make us feel helpless.
Cause us to cry at night, to cry in pain for what we had lost that we wished was never taken away.
The skies turn grey as we wish for them to stay, but knowing it was too late.
Sincerely, The Families of your victims
My grandma has passed away from cancer. So I deceived to write out how I felt.#cancer #sad

I'm like a piece of paper; blank*
Im like freshly fallen snow; cold
I'm like the tin man; no heart
*I'm like a ghost; no soul
Memphis Storm Dec 2016
My mind is flying
There's no way down
I don't know why I'm crying
There's an empty feeling
A fear of not knowing
Something is happening
Memphis Storm Dec 2016
Everything is confusing
I don't know what is happening
I cant wrap my head around it
I'm drowning in my own thought's
I'm suffocating; no longer breathing
The storm came raging
The waves everywhere
I'm in a sea of confusion
I've lost my way
No way to navigate
I don't know where to look
I'll be gone at this rate
Memphis Storm Dec 2016
My heart is beating
And yet; I feel nothing
My skin is warm
And yet; I feel cold
My laugh echo's out
And yet; I'm sad
I do one thing
While feeling another
Why do I even bother
I smile, but I want to frown
I laugh, but I want to cry
I live, but I want to die

Wind howling around*
And yet there is no sound
Images going by
One at a time
Only just a memory
A memory that is blurry
For we wish could happen and what does
Overlaps the true reality
A reality we cant face
Cause we are to scarred
And yet we still give chase
With everything going by
With the clock ticking
*I'm still not moving
