Amelia Bishop Poem
I miss you
I miss her more than words could say
I couldn't even look at her the same way
Her skin lost of life... dull and pale
It felt like a horrible fairy tale
ALS took her from me too soon
While I was looking at the bright blue moon
I prayed to God to not take her from me
I just wanted to run away and flee
Showing her my love through sign language
I could hardly even manage
missing her more every day
For her to be unable to say
The words she wanted to express
All the sadness, hurt, and stress
I thought I had her for longer
But I never thought to wonder
What it would be like without her
I love you more than I ever showed
I know you are up in heaven looking down below
At this world that was once much brighter
You were a very tough fighter

Amelia Bishop Poem
DON'T GIVE UP
I always told others to start seeing their own worth
I started to tell myself I was worthless.
Looking at myself in the mirror and seeing the negatives
I always told others that failing doesn't mean to give up
I told myself I wasn't enough.
curling up in a ball as though I was a toddler
I always told others that life makes you fall but it doesn't mean you failed
I told myself I couldn't do it.
I spent time in my room looking at the fan
I wouldn't eat, sleep, just tears streaming down
But I didn't give up,
Failing didn't stop me,
Not succeeding didn't stop me.
I continued to fight my mind's battles
Success was my goal, failing was an achievement
I decided to focus on the positives.
I told myself I was needed.
I told myself I succeeded.
I told myself failing is a lesson not a crime.
