R.I.P Bryce Hightower (My Older Brother)


You left when I was so young... I didn't really understand it. My heart was left numb, my mind on another planet. I remember the days where your smile made gray skies turn blue. I remember the times that you made me get through. I hope you know, I love you. That flu just had to take you, but in your spirit I know it did not shake you or break you.. I just wish you were still here. I wish I could hug you one last time. I wish I never had to say goodbye. You're my brother, and you better know it. You're the one who inspired my dream of becoming a poet. When you left, I went crazy. I couldn't be controlled. I was like a girl jumping into an open road. Since then, I've gotten better. The word 'Depression' is just another to remember. My smile has grown bigger, only because I know, without you I would be nowhere, and I think I'm gonna get somewhere in this life. Thank you, Bryce. YOU ARE MISSED.
