Poem: The Holidays Without You

You did not want to die

You did not give up when you did die

Your body could not get better

You did not want to die

and you died anyways

No prayer could fix it

No God could fix your body

The emptiness of powerlessness

Cancer is an insidious thief

that rips people out of our lives

too soon

The Holidays without you

is too much

Dealing with prejudiced people

Being outcasted

is too much

This world can be so cold

and cruel

without

you
