A Bleeding Soul

A Bleeding Soul
Had a friend (a girl to be specific). Miss Oyoma.The smartest one in the bunch.Could never beat her when it comes to academics, charity and humility.
what didn't I try.Let me rephrase. What didn't we all try.

She taught me everything I know and how to be competitive.
Fight for your place in life she would say but

 remember is not a crime if you don't make it in your first try. Do hold this very words dearly "Never give up in life"

I wish those were the last words you said to me. No, I wish you never said a last word to me. That way I could get to keep you around. Sit by your feet and bath in your knowledge.

But you had to go. Leave me stranded in a world filled with questions.
The least I could do is pick myself up by my bootstraps and walk in your shadows hoping one day I get to stand tall, shoulders held high and tell the world you made me this man I am today.

I believe that day is today. You deserve this tears  miss.


How do I say this
How do I bleed my soul to you
Would have been alot easier if you were here

Guiding me through every trial
Every laughter bringing me closer to hope
Your gentle smile

Echoing a thousand words
Screaming the very same words you taught me
"Never give up in life"

I needed you to live long
I needed you to stay a thousand years
And live a thousand lives

Was the only way the world could be safe
To fully experience your gifts
Making every individual feel special

Though I can't hug you anymore
Or tickle you and wait for that ever charming smile
I know for certain you are always with me

Watching from above
Guiding my steps
whispering those same words
"Never give up in life"
