I'm not a poet, but here's a poem that I wrote to my late Grandmother and dad
My Heart's in great pain
Relief it can't gain
These emotions are real
So I'm saying how I feel
Mamalean, Dad, You both played a role.
Now my heart has a hole.
I hope it gets filled
So your vibes won't be killed.
The moment you passed away
My happiness went away
My heart was ripped
My life was flipped
My Life, I began to hate
My Life, I began to dread
I never thought I'd live without you both
Hopeless, I feel everyday
Lifeless, I feel everyday.
Like a lost child, I feel everyday.
Even though I'm 22 I still feel like a baby.
Everyday I ask, why me?
Why does my mother have to live without her mother?
Why do I have to live without my grandmother?
Why does my mother have to live without her husband?
Why didn't I become a husband?
Why do I have to live without my father?
Why couldn't I make him a grandfather?
Even though 4 years passed,
It still hurts me everyday.
But I know that i have a hope,
So I'm finding a way to cope.
Mamalean, Daddy,
Thank you for helping me.
Thank you for teaching me.
Thank you for your heart,
And for making me smart.
Everyday I embrace these
But my heart, it doesn't please.
Until we meet again,
I have wounds i have to mend.
But thanks to you both,
I'm finding a way to cope.
I love you both so much.
