You Cannot Explain It by REDInks(m): 12:34pm On Jul 19, 2022 |
I wasn't too happy when I wrote this... Funny how the world feigns care and love When you're gone but show you the worst while you're here... You cannot really explain it |

You cannot explain It when they say Hi, How are you?, You say fine But are you? So you tell yourself quickly I cannot explain this feeling when I wake up with no zeal no excitement, nothing brings appeal to this raging thoughts of despair So you hid the raging pain like dirty underwear. When they say why You reply why me?, Why this? God gives his soldiers the toughest battles who said you wanted a uniform with troubles who said you were not comfortable unrattled so when the first one left you said it's well well enough till the next one left you stay alone and wept you flourished in your fears That soon another bond would be severed and how right you were so you ask again Why me?, but all you get is a loud silence When they say what's up? You ask who's up?, They reply with what's down You say the loved ones you let down... You rephrase the loved ones cut down... Cut down before you could plead for a showdown but death doesn't fight fair so he snatched your daughter when you were unaware instead killed your brother while he slept and now all you see when you look at dirt is the pathway that leads nowhere but hurt When they say are you okay upstairs? You ask what's left up there? Memories of my daughter, brother and sisters A vivid picture of me losing to their killers.... Rest in Peace Ada Ameh In a Nation where so many things were wrong, you fought for what was right and stayed strong despite your mental health issues. I believe you're in a better place.
