My life will live on without the voices and the noise they bring
My life will live on without the stress and added pain
My live will live on without running to beckoned calls
and taking unnecessary falls
My life will live on without the slaps in the face and slamming doors
My life will live on without the spirit of obligation and false condemnation
My life will live on with my back to the past, staying focused and looking straight ahead
My life will live on from being the outcast and black sheep of my past
My life will live on from being misunderstood, mistreated and told I was no good
My life will live on through the ruins of burned and discarded literature
My life will live on in thrown away black and white pictures
My life will live on in bold uppercase letters on my birth certificate
My life will live on through the nine numbers that’s supposed to secure my future
My life will live on whenever my name is written or spoken
My life will live on in my poetry and when my story is read
My life will live on continuously even when I’m gone
