It’s evil
Unkind
Indiscriminate
This disease
That seems incurable
Takes the people
Who we love
Away from us
The ones who we care
The most
Seen to be
The ones who sufferers
Of this terrible
Disease
But we must remain stay strong
For them
And give them hope
That they need
So that soon
They will be considered
A survivor
And not
A victim

As the years go on
You have always gave your love
To everyone in our life
This usually goes unnoticed
Today is your day to get the notification
That you deserved
Today is your birthday
You should celebrated it
By receiving love
From the ones you care about
So Happy Birthday to you
With love
From us

I feel as though I am walking on eggshells
I am surrounded by people who
Pride themselves in tolerance and diversity
Voicing their opinions loud and clear
Walking on eggshells
My opinions and views differs from them
As it does not align with theirs
Holding my tongue to
Avoid confrontations
I want to speak my mind
So I can stand up for myself
But I stay silenced
Walking on eggshells
Narrowly avoiding certain subjects
For fear of being treated horribly
I want to make friends
That accepts me
Respects my opinions
Walking on eggshells
I feel oppressed and afraid
In my community
Trying to survive
A community of that is not
As tolerant as they preach
I am walking on eggshells
Trying to avoid being called names that
Are not true
I don’t feel safe
While everyone else has
Their safe space
For two years I’ll be
Walking on eggshells

We exist
Our voices may be small
But we exist
Our art might not be political
But we exist
We might not be controversial
But we exist
Our opinions might be ignored
But we exist

You are beautiful
Through the eyes of many
But the only eyes that
Truly matter
Are is the ones that
Comes from heaven above
Through our creator eyes
He made us
Beautiful
Only if we truly believe
In this beauty
That he has given us
We become
Beautiful Inside
And out

We go from one place
To the next
Wondering aimlessly
Admiring the beautiful
And the wonders
We are searching for
The new and different
It seems endless
But at the same time
Rewarding too

It’s happened
Death to
Fellow classmate
Student
Alumni
There are many of them
That goes through this
How we remember them
Honor them
Praise them
For their hard work
Getting where they are now
Some move on
To a successful career
And long lives
While others are short lived
While other suffer
Unexplainable disease
Unexpected crashes
These are ones who we mourn
These are the ones that we remember
The unexplainable
Unexpected ones
They are ones that make an impact on us
It seem sad that they have to die first
In order to be remembered
By others
It is out of our hands
There is no stopping this
All that we can do
Is pray that death won’t come to
Our classmates
Our friends
Our alumni
Us.
