my uncle died, these thoughts lay in my head.
I try not to think about it, I’d rather recover but do these feelings go away or just become covered?
these streets took his life away, these streets of Philly I walk every day.
at first, I blamed jail now I blame those 7 bullets and the man who made that kill.
standing behind that gun as if my uncle’s life was a job that needed to be done.
this world is a threat and suddenly anyone is a target, throughout these streets filled with thugs and drugs. they took my uncle not his cell and certainly not the guards within that jail. I don’t know that much about my uncle just the man I knew him to be a great uncle, brother, and man, and now his life, six feet under land. this toxic cycle we experience this toxic life, the kind of toxic that results in another lost life. Philly is still the same as it was when my uncle left this earth if I could I’d give him a chance to live, and take on my life if that helped my mom understand that I’d kill to bring back my uncle, her brother if I could. I would.
– I miss my uncle and I understand what it feels like to lose somebody you love and that’s real, rest in peace I swear to god I love you.
ReplyCanceldear uncle it’s Kyla I’m having difficulties every now and then and I don’t enjoy having those difficulties but they are there. the last 2 days I’ve been doing really awful after days of being at peace I really won’t know what to do but crash and burn like usual. please give me the strength I need to do better for myself or I might end up like you in a completely different situation. Please watch over me and protect my peace and my heart I need you. I love you.
