Nydia Byrd Poem
The mask that i wear is about not expressing
myslf, i can't do it alone i need some
I can't do this alone I need some help.My grandmother has cancer and goes
through a lot of pain and agony, no longer
can she take care of the family. She moans
and groans, never does she laugh. I could
see why: who would laugh with pain like
that. I could see the african americans now
running to freedom, they weren't slaves
nobody could keep 'em. Like moses who freed
over 300 slaves, she stayed in the water
where she would wade. I can't wear this mask
any longer, to take it of i must stay
stronger.

Nydia Byrd Poem
you don't know what you have until it's gone, i wish i would have known what went wrong.
oh yeah the ciggiretes. she smoked them till she was out of breath. the house always
smelled of those stinking butts gosh, that scent would drive me nuts. ciggirets smoke in
my hair, clothes and skin recieving subtle stares from strangers wondering where iv'e
been. i wish i could have stopped him. i wish i could have stopped her.when i get older
i know she'll be nothing but a blur. she's in heaven now some say where she belongs. i
say it could have been stopped, her live could have been prolonged

family corrects your wrongs, praises your rights and know how to put up a good fight. Their there when you need 'em and stay by your side so stand up for what you believe in , no need to hide. treat your family with respect remember they will stick with you till the end. family is a precious thing, make sure you keep in touch everyone's family loves them so much! And remember you don't have to impress them they will stick with you till the end.

Nydia Byrd Poem
You are the one who bore me. You never put anyone before
me. You took care of me when no one would and made sure
I did what I could to make it in the world. you probably
don't know this but you are my favorite girl. You also have
a fashion sense, I may not understand it but I do like your
candle scents. No one could ever replace you because you
are one of a kind and I don't mind.
