REALITY


When I got the news I thought it was a joke

Had to pinch myself twice just to make sure I was woke

How could it be so suddenly that you had to leave this earth

Everyone on Facebook had to make the stuff worst

You are way too young to be put up on a shirt

Still crying as I speak I can still feel the hurt

You would tell me all the time "taizia you’re crazy"

And I would say  I'm dropping out and you would say don't be lazy

Because when I needed you most you were by my side

Although freshman year we didn't see eye to eye

But I gave you a chance and soon found out

That being an amazing teacher wasn't all you were about

See you can dance and you even knew my songs

Although everyone makes mistakes you seemed to never do no wrong

& they told me not to cry but for you I'll tell try my best

Your goal for us to make it and for us to have success

It's like I'm in a nightmare but this really not a dream

I understand now you weren't as happy as you seemed

See you were the type that left you problems at home

And for you I'll try my best to make it look like I am strong

But I'm telling you right now that  I cry everyday

First my mother then my teacher man they took y'all both away

It's like your smile really brightened up my day

And usually I don't do this but tonight I'm gonna pray


 

That I choose the right path

And I make the right decisions

When I got demerits you would say

"Taizia

just listen "

I remember you made cookies peanut butter to be exact

Even when I was acting up you always had my back

We had a understanding that no one would understand it's hurts so much and feel like I lost a friend

We would talk about things even outside of school

I remember you got my shades and said "do I look cool"

And it hurts me the most to know I won't see you for a while

Everytime I close my eyes I can still see you smile

Heaven truly gained an angel

And from Rowe Clark as a team we really are thankful
