My best friend Courtney..
She was always around-
Kept everyone else happy
I never guessed she was down
Her death covered our school
Everything reminds me of you. I say things that only you would understand.
Part of me is gone but it had to be lost to find a new.
I miss your smile.
I miss your stupid jokes.
There’s so much to say.
I know I won’t get through
All the great things I can think of
When I think about you
Spanish class was fun
It was personal and engaging
But you taught me so much more
Daddy is yelling,
Rambling,
Cursing,
At mommy
Mommy is grieving,
Crying,
Hoping,
For Grandpa
Grandpa is dead
Rest in peace:
To the person no one recognizes,
Dying a death, a lonely death.
Rest in peace:
To the skinny girl in Africa;
The starving didn't get to her as fast as the AIDS.
Rest in peace:
I heard you was born in Brooklyn, Some know it as Crooklyn,You was a rich, dark color called black,
A piece of my heart lies in your soul
Your gone I miss u more than you'll ever know
The seasons change but the way I feel for you stays the same
Don't cry for me, I've made up my mind.
I want to thank you throughout my life for being so kind.
This wasn't your fault, the decision was mine.
God has looked around his garden and found an empty space
Then he looked down upon this earth and saw your tired face
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest
I am sad
but never mad
no one knows
why
I dont get how
people can smile
when they see
people cry
Why these doctors acting like they so confused
They really make me sick my nigga
If they only knew
That they was playing with the life of my idol
Now he's gone so theres no use to pray to the Bible
The sun goes down and the moon comes up
Summer fades to fall
Life changes and all good must end
No matter how much we stall
We fight
I've been popping pills, can't you tell?
Pupils dilated, high as hell
Numb my pain, they do it well, brilliant mind like Galileo
Rolling L's, light up, in a hour I'll ash my Lucky
I flew without fear, for I knew you were near
I could soar through clouds and never scare to come down.
I could sleep with the stars and dance on the moon
Your love was always there to carry me through.
Breathe in, breathe out.
You can take my hair, you can take my blood;
take my happiness, but never my love.
You can take my memories, you can take the good times;
let me move on, let me close my eyes.
In memory of Leelah Alcorn

Forced to wear a mask,
As I epitomize a façade,
That many will believe,
She smiles so deeply that it leaves imprints on her cheeks.
Her laugh brings joy to others that are far beyond her reach.
You used to sing James Blunt's song
In 10th grade Lit class
Now the song's painful to hear
Rest in peace
father williams
Your presence is missed
your movies your great
your humor
a jest
a loveable person
Soulful
through and thorugh
but even the saints
HOOK:
How would you feel if I went away? How would you feel I went today? Would you still love me?
Would you remember me?
VERSE:
This is a story about Trevor.
He was 13 and lived with his mother.
I wanted to give in
My body screamed for mercy,
My sanity barely gripped in a fist clenched tight
I had to stay!
I had to fight!
I promised them I would try
They needed me to make this go away
All persons must go their own ways, All people must do their own thing.
For we can not predict or hope, To follow the path of the winds.
They will twist and turn you inside out, Like the tides of the Tempest's sea.

The snow; Oh, the snow
How it glistens and glows

Wash your hands.
Remember: paper, lines, game.
Paper: history, English
O.
Did I lock my car?
Memorize your lines
Rehearsal rehearsal rehearsal.
Caught off guard;
Shock held silent grip;
A few sniffles emerged;
Red cups in a fence with a bouquet
Spelling the words
RIP Spez.
For the first time
Teachers sobed openly in front
There once was a girl who had the world wrapped around her finger tips.
She was a beauty, a goddess in fact.
Earth was her thrown. She had opportunities all around her
What do you do when you have lost someone who has always been there? How do you deal?
Here's the the girl who held her head high,
While she suffered at home,
Now she looks down from the sky,
She didn't leave the world while she was alone,
But surrounded by family,
What is loss?
Loss is always difficult to manage
While all who grieve
Are at a Disadvantage
We must not misconceive
tugging, pulling
a tiny walnut
a massive sea
an orange
two lips, tulips
"tear here"
ripped apart
a fight within.
Grandma Re
You be Beautiful
Like births, like breaths, like time, like life itself.
There is a flood in the school,A flood of blueBlue clothing, blue tears, blue faces
In times of great strife,
Our faith was tested.
In times of sadness,
Our bodies were hurt.
In times we were tested,
We were stronger than ever before.
Some nights, I can't sleep! I wonder why?
Some nights, I wonder where I stand in life.
Other nights, I feel afraid, almost destressed.
Resting nights, angels soars at my presences.
Darkness surrounds me.
Imprisoning.
Pulling.
Strangling.
My conscience just barely there.
The images still around me.
Floating.
When we walked the face of Earth,
Wasn’t the world a happy one?
A collection of blessings made up our very lives,
And in the blinks of weary eyes,
We were gone.
Now as I peer into the past
My close friend Luis decided to drive around in his motorcycle.
Luis was innocent, he just wanted to drive around...
So happy to be driving, the wind hitting his face, ignoring everyone.
Dearly Beloved
You don’t know what you got until it’s gone
Something you used to say all the time
It’s funny, but a little sad, how true that really is
Honestly, It doesn't really seem like it's been four-years
Even If I cried I wouldn't know If I had any more-tears
The only thing I want in this world only is just you-here
Good morning death
So nice to see you.
May I offer you some coffee, some tea, anything to impede you?
To constrain and detain the obligation that brings you?
Business.
Yes, I know the routine.
There was a glow in the sky today
A beautiful angel gained his wings
Down here on earth we'll never understand
Above us God had a bigger plan
He decided it was time for him to come home
Open eyes, open heart
Never let the world tear me apart
Hold my soul and my spirit,
Because the end will come I can feel it
Take my time down the road
Cause it'll quickly go cold
We lost you.
Your gone.
I know you tried and tried
Fought all you could
But this time you had to give.
Yeah we suffered,for the ♥ of you
Your my dad don't forget that too.
It almost doesn't make sense
You were a stranger,
Until the last months of your life.
In a way, you were like the forest
Tall, Sturdy, Strong
Rest now soldier your quest is put to rest
Bloody wounds ache in sorrow it'll be better for you tomorrow
You'll leave the battle field once in for all
He's waiting to take you home soldier hear his call
Your eyes, green with flicks of brown.
They swallowed me whole.
They took my soul.
They flipped my world world upside down.
The day he died is when you died too; Your heart, your smile, your kids died too. When he left us, your happiness did the same; Two kids and still felt no reason to remain.
She gets to the party around nine, or ten
A familiar high school scene, getting high and drunk again
Inevitably one of her friends' parents are out of town again
You left when I was so young... I didn't really understand it.
My heart was left numb, my mind on another planet.
I remember the days where your smile made gray skies turn blue.
You know I sit and remember when you were still a part of me,
I went for months not knowing you were there inside of me.
I had all the signs; I had all the symptoms
And yet your mama was stupid, i made the wrong decisions.
