INNER PEACE



I'LL NEVER HEAR HER BEAUTIFUL VOICE OR SEE THAT SMILE AGAIN, A SMILE THAT HID SO MUCH PAIN.          DEPRESSION IS A REAL DISEASE, AND WE AS BLACK PEOPLE JUST WANT TO PRAY IT AWAY WITHOUT GETTING TO THE SOURCE OF IT.                                            IT WAS NOT  EASY THAT DAD WAS NEVER AROUND , SHE SEEMED TO BE GETTING WORSE, BUT HOW CAN YOU CURE A SICKNESS YOU CAN'T EVEN NAME?                 ALWAYS TRYING TO EXPLAIN WHAT IT FELT LIKE TO DROWN IN YOUR OWN EMOTIONS AND INNER MIND. HOPING GOD WOULD SAVE HER BUT HE DID NOT. DO NOT LET PAIN ISOLATE YOU AT LEAST SHE WAS THE LIGHT IN THIS DARK WORLD FOR THAT CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME                                                                 I LOVE YOU MAMA AND ALWAYS WILL...

I WROTE THIS POEM BECAUSE I WAS IN GRIEF. I WAS MOURNING MY MOTHERS PASSING, FAILING TO ACCEPT THAT SHE IS REALLY GONE.
