Dear Mom and Dad,
We couldn't stop this,
This moment from coming.
I'm sorry for not being perfect,
I was annoying and rebellious.
You never panicked,
No matter how often I was ridiculous.
You put up with it,
Because you knew my clock was ticking.
The hourglass was almost up,
I was trying to experience
Every normal, wild, teenage struggle
If I've learnt anything,
It's that crying is good
So please
don't,
don't hold back.
Let those tears stream,
Cry a waterfall,
Make sure to move on.
Dear Luca,
You were the best thing
That ever happened to me.
You taught me to be myself
But most of all, to be free.
You taught me to never be afraid,
Or let my presence fade.
I vow,
I will forever be
In the splish-splash of the
Lapping waves against the rocks.
I will forever be
In the flowers outside my house,
The grassy green of the garden,
Dancing in the breeze.
Dear Sammy,
My sweet Sammy.
You're too young to experience loss,
But it will only make you stronger,
Life will always be chaos,
Don't ever let your spirit falter.
You're my sister,
That'll never change.
No matter how much this life gets tougher,
Nor how strange.
Don't be sad because I'm gone.
Be happy because I was here.
Dear Death,
You don't scare me.
I have done all I can,
To understand this life.
I have come to the conclusion
That this life is about
Being kind and being adventurous.
It's about being fearless
And being true to yourself.
And so here I stand before you,
In all my mortality.
I know now what is true,
I was never truly free.
Time is a fleeting idea,
A lie that we have control.
We will all leave this world one day,
I just pray that we won't have wasted our time.
So take me with you and let me be,
Bring me to the otherside, I want to see.
