The Day I Died

By: Ashley Alexandra Jaime

The day I went away was the day I died.
The day I went away I was caused so much pain all my senses were fried.

I had no family, no friends.
My head was spinning from going to so many places.

Spinning in so many directions,
I had no way of knowing what they were reflecting.

I wished I could just go home, but home was too far astray.
It wasn't possible; I knew I had to stay away.

Nobody knew what to do.
I didn't even have one shoe.

I didn't have anybody to percieve.
I had no choice but to leave.

My mother's rights were gone,
So she wrote a sad song.

But soon I was home in my own little space,
Soon to see all my life was a waste.
