It started out oh so long ago, the fog behind leaves a clue,
but not something resolute.
The times of the day were directed by the signs, yet those
favoured the unfortunate working class towns .
Affix a smile and they’ll think that you’re okay. Maybe she won’t flip out, go crazy on you today. And should you express a feeling- then you forgot your meds. Go on and take your pills. Cure what ails your head.
Teeth gnashing, ripping, and tearing through your body
- ripped apart from inside out.
An internal violent assault
- this is what Cancer's about.
Carrying with it, anger and cruelty-
In 2013, we heard she had cancer,
Unfortunately, there was no answer.
However, her life was so rich and so pure,
we knew that we had to find her a cure.
We started looking, "We have to find something,"

When I was 6 years old I lost something
It wasn’t just anything
Not something that can be replaced at a store
Not a thing
But a who,
At just six years old I lost my father,
Words
i don't care,
if this is ever seen
i dont care
if my words connect
if there is an effect
i don't care if it is praised high
or looked down
all i care
If Hickies were band aids thenLying naked in your arms
Would be my therapy
And your kisses could stitch me up
Remember yesterday, when I told you
When I told you I laid
Laid on the concrete floor
In fetus position reaching for my heart
A life without love is no life to live,But a life without you now that would be sin.So for now I'll wait,And tomorrow we'll see,What the future hides for you and for me.
Cancer is what I would change
Uproot its viciousness
Remove its threat
Eliminate this dreadful disease
It starts small, and unknown.
It spreads fast, and now shows.
A person stripped of all their glory.
Whether new or venerable,
A soul's a soul and will be taken.
Overcome by the painful invasion
Seek out the meadows
Upon this day
Into the night
Come out upon my sight
As silent as a ghost
If I had the chance, I would take a stance.
Make myself be heard, find a cure.
The numbers are soaring, parents are mourning.
Lives are impacted each day.
But you see,
no ear will hear,
Many of us have doubt when we see that God is taking too long to answer, many of us do not seek the kingdom first and wonder why all the other good things aren't coming we tend to lean on our own understanding which means not Trusting in the Lord
A woman of Black gold, gave birth to an olive child,
Strong and mighty was she to stand by a father who stood to just pretend.
Made sure her little peice of hope in this world was warm, fed, and fast asleep everynight
With grace and power she stands there
Light soothing hands with a maternal touch
Gentle eyes that cut through glass and fair hair that falls upon her shoulders
Dependable, she is everyone's crutch
Momma always used to say, “God laughs at the plans you make.”
But that was just a chance I had to be willing to take.
Empathetic, kind-hearted, containing the true values of life
I once met love at the front door!
And, when I glaced it's direction
Love, beautifully, smiled back at me.
That was love. My first sight!
I became instantly drawn to love.
when the Sun is alive
so am I
the unimaginable dream is mine
fog will remain in my path
but fire in my eyes, boldly.
there is a dawn that rises
unshakeable and endless
like the core of soul
There is so much sadness in the world
What will it take to heal
When murder Senseless murder
Is committed every day
Genocide Is in every corner Of this planet
Look around you
Why I write? I write because you told me to
Because you encountered history and literature but never met a pen or page
Why did you have to love me?
I can promise you that it’s nothing against you. But, I turn away because I keep love close, maybe too close, and I think that I will only remember and love you.
Entitled: Najarri Samuel Whitehead
But that's all you read.
Skipped past the prologue, and examined the pictures.
So in reality you only saw the happiness, the joy.
Never walking the heartache and pain.
My biggest fear will never visit me
Never will I allow myself to fall in
To cave in, to wither, to fall.
For I will stand as strong as a weeping willow.
In the darkness he lurks, always behind me.
I once was lost,
I felt alone in this world and empty,
I felt like life was not worth the cost,
My insides were hollow,
And my heart feeling hefty,
Why to live?
What do I have to give?
Come down to the river
Come watch with me
See the ripples and the flow
Of the water as it goes
As what goes?
Your mind
Set it free. Find peace
Peace where?
Out there, on the rocks;
