Christina White Poem
Everyone around me is losing their lives,
Doesn't anyone see the grief in my eyes?
What are all these feelings that are combining?
Most of these feelings that have been hiding.
I cant breathe, I cant speak, I cant even cry.
I'm losing my faith, do you know why?
Because everyone around me is losing their lives,
Drive byes, heart attacks, and suicide.
Why did any of them have to go away?
Why do my tears fall for them every day?
For all my loved ones that had to go,
The mourning and grieving I don't know how to show.
All of these things I hold deep inside,
I said I'm OK, what if I lied?
Does anyone understand how I'm feeling?
I need the time for the tender healing.
Because everyone around me is losing their lives,
Getting jumped and killed with bloody knives.
Why did my friend have to drive that far?
Why did the other guys drink in their car?
They wouldn't have killed her if they looked.
Do they even care whose life they took?
Everyone around me is losing their lives,
How many of you see the grief in my eyes?
Why did my grandpa go to that store?
Why cant he be with me anymore?
The day of his funeral, someone else died.
Does anyone feel these tears I have cried?
Cancer killed my High School love,
Now I pray to him and God above.
One close relation, had a bad heart,
Then the Lord took me and him apart.
Everyone around me is losing their lives,
Now can you see the grief in my eyes?
Why did my friend get killed in a drive by shooting?
She was so young, she didn't know what she was doing.
My ninth birthday, my uncle got hit by a train.
Tell my why people play this game?
My homie got shot because of the rag he was hanging,
But expect anything when you spend your life claiming.
there are so many more, but it hurts to much to speak on.
my love for them will always be there, but unfortunately they are still gone.
Everyone around me is loosing there lives,
Can anybody see the grief in my eyes?
Rest in peace to all of my loved ones,
who have lost their lives.............

Christina White Poem
Our lives have been full of obsticals,
with wrong turns we never thought we could get through alive.
Even through the detours and road blocks,
We have somehow managed to survive.
We have made it this far,
standing confident and strong.
All it takes is common sense,
and knowing right from wrong.
Even if you go off the path,
get lost or go the wrong way.
Always keep your head held up high,
because it will be ok.
The light will fight the darkness,
and brighten up the skies.
The Fog will eventually fade,
Clearing the vision for your eyes.
The muffled sounds will focus,
and the signs will be more clear.
Courage will finally take over,
and take away your fears.
The sun will replace the moon,
turning night into day.
Just listen to the voice inside,
because it will be ok.
