Laquanta Doughty Poem
We are all waiting to die and
the way that we wait is the only thing
that sets us apart.
Most rather not mention or think about death
so they live every day as if another one
is automatically guaranteed.
Filling days with temporary delight
and self inquiries into small fleeting pleasures.
Death doesn't amaze me but my prize for enduring
this earth is what garners my attention. I sit anxiously
in anticipation for what I have earned.
I know death will come for me when it is ready.
I respect death so I'm still here
just waiting to die

Laquanta Doughty Poem
Respect that Covid is here to stay
Tip toe around her and keep out of the way
Remain greatful that wisdom hithes a ride with age
and that wrinkles are the paid wage
Remember that nothing is perfect
but have a good time because you're worth it
I am not responsible for others judgement thereof
however it doesn't relieve the fact that I must show them love
Be kind whenever possible
and remember nothing is impossible but maybe probable

Laquanta Doughty Poem
I'd rather be left alone. I can go years without seeing people
and that doesn't matter to me.
Covid has made life a lot easier on me.
I'm glad that it's cancelled birthdays, holidays and lunch dates. I'm glad that I don't have to fake happiness in places I don't want to be.
Covid is protecting me and it scares me to think about everyone getting vaccinated because my safe space will end.
I'm honestly thrilled for anti vaxxers. Their unwillingness is what keeps me sane. I hope things never change, I'd rather be left alone.
Of course I don't want people to be sick or die. I just don't want to be around them because I'm an introvert

Laquanta Doughty Poem
A drunk driver plowed right into the back of me as I sat at a red light.
My life flashed before my eyes as I watched numerous cars filled with giddy teenagers passing by.
Confused and in pain I wondered where all these youngsters were going.
Turns out they were headed to homecoming and the drunk driver that hit me was going to the same homecoming to see her daughter perform in the band.
The moment I realized this I was honored and glad she hit me instead of one of those unsuspecting, innocent, precious teens with their whole life ahead of them. I proudly accepted the pain and endured multiple chiropractor visits.
She was so drunk that an accident was unavoidable. I'm just glad a drunk driver hit me and didn't ruin the life of one of those beautiful kids. One might call it Divine Intervention and I would have to agree. Don't Drink and Drive!!!

Laquanta Doughty Poem
I was told to be careful and treat her with respect
before she came into my life. I did just that
yet everything I did wasn't good enough
she seemed to be irritated at even small things
I stopped going out and even spent more quality time at home
but every time I turned around she was raging mad
She was jealous of me seeing my family and friends so I stopped
She didn't want me going to church and that's where I wanted to
draw the line but I obliged her requests in hopes
that would make her happy. We have been together
for almost two years and I know she isn't happy with me.
This relationship is toxic but I don't know how to let her go.
She is apart of me now but I know I deserve better and one
day she will be in my past. Her name is Covid, I'm sure you've heard of her!
