Grief

My child
Still gone
Lord, where were you?
Why is my breath so important
Was his breath not?
Living is now a curse
My shadow now criticizes its light
Empathy from others I consider pain
Hugs are just a constant duty
Why do I awake?
Why does...

Weed in the Garden

Gardener, why was I planted here?
What did you see?
The gardener replied, a little weed from the earth
standing with nobody
But the sun burns, said the weed
When the rain pours, it hurts
At times I am buried and feel unwanted by the dirt ...

Friend of the Family

I love you
Yet I hate you
You are the hope of my future
You were my guidance in my past
My father despised you
But my mother adored you
You were her will to live
You were a constant guest in our home
You were the scent my mother wore daily ...
