“I Die” by Nadjah Hasan
Today I am alive
But yesterday I could’ve died
In life they say take it all with a grain of salt but what if that alone can cost you your life
I am blind
and I can see
Knowing of nothing but peace and I died
On the inside
Not capable of unraveling the Trauma wrapping my bones
not alone but definitely alone
How can it possibly be that you can see what I see
These eyes
That through these eyes
Real life
Can be seen
They say I die
But I decide
Guided by light and love
Toward the light
Heal me of the lies
Placed in my mind
I didn’t get to decide
But today I decide
I take hold of my life
Don’t tell me that you know what’s best for me
When I’m reaching back to bring you
Come with
Only love on this trip
Blue skies maybe even purple and shit
They killed me
But I’m standing in front of you
I rise.
