All of my life has been surrounded by death
It started when I was seven
My grandfather had passed away
And I couldn't go to the funeral
Because they said I wouldn't comprehend
Oh but I sure did
When I was eleven
My great uncle passed away
He had cancer for five years,
But told no one
And I hadn't seen him for a few years
But now I cry when I hear
'Wild thing' because it reminded me of him
After this tragedy I became suicidal
I would cry every time I left my grandma cause I was scared I wouldn't see her tomorrow
I told myself I didn't wanna live without her
So I decided I wouldn't
I cried the entire summer away
In middle school my guineapigs died
I was told I need to take care of them
But they consumed my life
And I did everything I could
To give them the best life possible
The summer of ninth grade
My dog became sick
She passed on into heaven
And her pain was passed onto me
Then the neighbor I called grandma,
Forgot how to breath
I cried away the whole year
The two years after, more of my animals died
Turbo
Nutmeg
Oreo
Chip
And five of my fish
I hate death
The concept and reality
I hate that they're gone forever
I hate that I never got a chance to say goodbye
But it makes me remember
All the good times I had
The joy that they gave me
And the love I gave them
Rest In Peace
