R.I.P.

R.I.P. to all the little ones
All the real homies
Why?
Why people die?
Just to make people cry?
Why people die?
Just because people lie?
R.I.P. to all the little ones
Everyone that died

    I really like this poem, and I especially like how the poem consists of mainly questions because the topic of death is very unknown. I also wonder “Why people die?” It is a confusing topic to wrap your brain around after thinking about it for so long. Missing people who have passed away is hard, but it should motivate you to live your life to the fullest for them. Keep up the great work!

    hat’s deep, and it’s tough to make sense of why things like that happen. Losing people is really hard, and it’s okay to feel all the emotions that come with it. Keep pushing through!
