Louidjy Francois
I slowly opened my eyes
only to see the dark light.
So bright that I ran out of sight.
Afraid I'll never fight again
Afraid my strenght will never regain

Laying here in the hospital.
Cradle  so big it could be for two.
Thinking about a fight so brutal.  
One more and I'll run out of tooth.

Wishing I could move a budge
Wishing I could speak
Wishing this bed was soft
Wishing I was in the streets.
Wishing I could end my grudge
Wishing I could make end meet.

I will never give up
That's why they called me Louidjy.
I just realized I need a hug.
That is, without shedding tears.

I'm all grown up.
Allowed to have a date
although I still have my baby cup
I'm still here with a smile in my face.

My body still hurt but
This poem is not done yet
