Frederick JB Moore II Poems

I never wanted to be your legacy-
Your Shadow would outcaste me.

You were a great man,
...

How long did it take you
To drag me down,
Just for me to stand back up?
...

Tell them to bury me beside you;
That's where my heart now rests.

I lost a piece of it today-
...

I'm always proud of myself,
Even in my worst moments,
Because I overcome.
I do not shrink with fear into the shadows.
...

I may grow to hate his practices,
But I can not be led to hate the man.
I love him, for he is my brother-
With all of my heart and my soul,
...

What can be a treasure to you...
Might be a burden to me.

This thing we call life.
...
