I was born on Feb 16, 1987
On that day i looked into her eyes
Not knowing in 15 years i would have to say good-bye
We never lived that perfect life
there was always fights
we moved from Texas were i was born
travled that road to Rhode Island all torn
We stayed there for 3 years
We had to leave with tears
We moved to Florida
where it was much warmer
leaving our family and friends
starting school was cool
after awhile i felt i didnt need that tool
it began in middle school
The news i got wasnt so cool
My mom had copd.a sickness in the lungs
from that day life became a big change
i had to start acting older then my age
helping her with the house
going to the doctors
my father wasnt much help
he did what he could
they started having problems
he left for about 3 months
from that point life was falling apart
school wasnt going so Great
the days were starting to deterate(sp)
life was going by so quick
she was becoming very sick
on feb 5,2003 she call for me
we were spost to go out
i walked to the kitchen were she was
she looked at me and asked for a hug
with tears in her eyes
this was her start of saying her good-byes
the words came out clearly
"Kayla i love you and be strong"
These words were coming to early
I ran to my room to hide
cusing her name hit the door
we called the pastor
he came shortly after
he talked we her alone in the room
something he had said made her in a happy mood
the rest of the night went gliding by
the next day was the one that gave me the most pain
she was so weak could hardly speak
she layed in the bed
in the back of my head hoping for her to awake
i knew soon God would take
I layed in the bed with her
falling asleep
i woke with such a great disbelife
She had fallen into a coma
i couldnt believe it she wouldnt awake
it was Feb 7
i did everything to get her to wake up
from saying i love you too im sorry with hurt
at 3:30 pm The prenounced her dead
I ran out side droped to my knees
looking up to the sky with such a great plee
Two guys soon came to get her
I tried to go inside to rescue her
They were bringing my mom outside into the car
From that day to this one
the thought in my head is still why
why did she have to die
This was so sad it made me cry
your poems are good.
Kayla, hi you piece totally touched me, the truth,the sorrow,the overwhelment,something Im going through right now myself about my college friend who has multiple health issues. As a nurse I try to be practical,as a friend I can't handle the idea of her dieing but I know it could happen. I know exactly how you felt, I too lost amom early in teens so I know what that is about.Unless one has been through it they hav not comprehension just empathy or sympathy which doesn't change one iota of how we feel.We can appreciate it but it doesnt change a thing. Yeah ,I can relate......
Wow your life story is sad... Im sorry you had to go through that all. I really like this poem...it showes emotion write poems they kinda help get out anger and hate... love this poem .... keep writing
OMG KAYLA,
WOW I CAME TO LOOK AT THE POEMS AGAIN I READ THIS ONE AND STARTED TO CRY.THIS MAKES ME SAD BUT I GUESS IT HAPPENS. IM SORRY YOUR LIFE HAS TO BE THIS WAY. WELL ILL SEE YOU LATER
