Gone Away Poem by Halana Williams

If you look in my eyes
tell me what do you see?
Do you see any joy there?
whats becoming of me...
I was so Happy..
Laughed about everything
But now i sit here
mad at the world
at things i can't change
Its funny how life gives
you lemons
But how in the world
do you make Lemonade?
I don't know what to do now
i used to be on top
of the world
but now i'm uncertain
because its all confusing to me...
Now i sit here and i
stare
at th ese stingy whitewashed
stained walls...
i said look in my eyes!
Now...
tell me..

What do you see?
Hurt and despair
yes!
And you understand
why i'm here...
I feel really bad
taht your stuck here
i guess we
die here together....

The same ol'
brightness in your
smile...
has quickly
faded away...

Again look into my eyes
and you see the tears
stream down my face
As they close the door
they put me in this
funny chair
i politely ask the guard
to stay
i tell him when you watch look
at me...

straight in my eyes
won't you please?
And when i'm gone
mark my grave
and
place the description
of waht you saqw
He didn't understand why
then
After that day he knew
He saw no joy,
no happiness
no despair
nor hurt

He then didn't know waht to say then
silently opened the door...
un-clicked my straps
and carried me
out.

I didn't have a casket...
i was buried right there
and then
He found a stone and
carved in it

'There she lies, so
strong and brave; staring at her
own demise'
