Missing U
Yeah, you gone but never 4gotten, I can‘t believe it‘s true
I‘m dedicating this piece here from me to you.
It‘s been quite some time already,
and you‘re still fresh on my mind.
Why he had to take your life and not take mine
I finally see that that saying is true,
―When it‘s your time to go you‘re going‖
But I‘m just not trying to be a statistic having a good
life and going and not knowing
But hey, I have no type of say so who am I to judge?
Because in reality everyone eventually‘s gonna be in the mud
They say the good die young, that‘s the realest quote they say
I sit back wit tears in my eyes given my head a shake
You were my role model, the one that I admired
And known I‘m mad at the world, because your life has expired
But the family is keeping me afloat and on point showing me love
Saying ―She‘s watching over you from the heavens above‖
But I know you‘re in a better place, no more buffering, knowing what the pain was worth
But I just wish I can spend one more day
with you on God‘s green earth
But I‘ma stay strong, because that‘s what real men do
And don‘t worry about your young 1,because she‘s mines and I‘m gonna take care of her too
Ok dats enough being down and out, plus depressed
All dats gonna do is make me more and more stressed
You were they type of person who always
keep a smile on your face
Even when your days been up, down, or sideways
You had a pretty smile, with pearly white perfect teeth
So white that they looked bleached
That‘s just one thing that I‘m gonna miss the most
But I always look at your pictures
and give your obituary a kiss for hope
Knowin I look at life different, everything so brand new
But Big Sis, always remember that I love and will never stop missing u.
R.I.P.

This moved me to tears. A truly a beautiful piece. The cadence and innocence and raw emotion of it all comes together to show how both grief and hope are affecting you, and makes it all the more powerful. Please keep writing.
awww keep up dha good work dhats how i fell with my aunt who died
I really feel where you coming from.
Hi , im 15 now in the 9th grade and trying to live life right.
I just got finish reading your poem and it really touched me.
It reminds me of my grandmother that just passed a year ago.
I just wanted to say she in a better place and looking down on you making sure you doing the right thing. Just keep your head up and I will keep you in my prayers.
This poem was incredibly sobering, but there was an undeniable beauty in the sadness as well. The immense love you felt for your big sis is transparently clear and your words truly bring that love to life. A love as powerful as the love you felt for your sister – which was absolutely reciprocated to its fullest extent – withstands all of life’s trials and tribulations: difficulty, overcoming challenges, hard times, loss, grief, even the lowest points a human being can get to. And your poem delves into all of that, how that undying love between siblings flourishes even in the moments of your life that seem the most trying. I love how you catch yourself at the end though, a sort of “no, don’t be sad” revelation where you remind yourself to keep your head up high despite everything. You truly have an unbreakable spirit. Beautifully written. Please keep writing!
This poem sounds like a beautiful tribute to a loved one. I think you do a great job of expressing how much you miss your loved one and memorializing her spirit. I really like the lines, “You were my role model, the one that I admired. And known I‘m mad at the world, because your life has expired” It is heartbreaking to think about the people we look up to and respect being taken from the world. I can understand being angry at the universe.
