In"spiration"
4 miles away
I felt the oxygen leave your lungs
I heard you beg for oxygen while you laid on the cracked pavement
One shot was all it took for them to shatter my mentality
Lights surrounding your name
We glorify you as our hero
6 more months and graduation would have arrived
Lord knows I would have loved to see you dance on the stage
And now, you're no longer with us
You dance in the clouds, looking down at us with a heavenly smile
And here I am, attempting to succeed
It's hard for me to breathe, but I'm trying
You are my "in"spiration
This poem is about:
Me
My family
My community
My country
Our world
