Kenya

I wish I could cry.
That I could feel.
Feel all the sorrow and pain that those who stand beside me feel as their bodies are lowered six feet below the surface. All the lullabies, the endless lessons.
The times where I let her wise words go in one ear and out the other.The times were I let the three word's that hold so much weight and meaning, not come out of my mouth.
The continuous 'I hate you's', don't need you and the 'I'm sorry's'.
I will never get them back.
I've cried a fucking river, simply because I wasted so much time hating those who loved me. Considered me a blessing and brought me back home every time I would wondered where  I belonged.
So, as I make my way to the front.
I keep my speech short and sweet, though it carries a ton of worth, weight.
Instead of trying to write a speech that is as long as two pages, I wrote a poem.
For, I was told that is what I write best. And for my parents, I will always strive to give them the best.

"A nameless perfume engulfed my senses,
So strong it could knock me senseless.
My mum's stronger though,
She killed those with unkind hearts with kindness.

Her warm chestnut orbs always shining bright,
When my days were black and dim,
She was the light that illuminated the darkness,
The only consistent light, she stood fearless.

His built shape enveloped his gentle heart,
Each word of hatred secretly tore his poor heart apart.
His built arms immediately wrapped around my small body,
They were the reason why I believe I am a nobody.

The last hug,
The last touch.
The last sniff of there original smell.
I will never feel their love the same way again.
Last.
God, it was swell when it lasted.
Last.
If only I appreciated the sacred time while it lasted.

réaliser profondément que
le moment présent est tout ce
que nous avons.
toujours dans mon esprit
pour toujours dans mon coeur

Realize deeply that the present moment
Is all we ever had.
Always in my mind,
Forever in my heart.

Thank you."
