Her words were
Warped—silent
Yet strong
Got tired of living
...
Fighting the good fight against this caning.
My poor body I am draining
Stretching my reach, straining my mind
I try, I try- -up- -up—I climb
...
Ev'rybody ain't meant to shine,
Some of us got's to keep walkin'
'dat line.
...
Pitch Black Dark
Days, no existence
I walk & walk- -
For miles- behind me
...
Children are a blessing, this I know
My sons are my life and I love them so
I am here because of them, this
You can believe; they are my rays
...
Are you real?
I don’t know
In my life
You come and you go
...
