Silence By: Kena'i

Silence echos through the halls from the words left unsaid The Skin crawling silence fills the room consumes the light with a silence so thick it suffocates you in its icy grip With a taste so bitter sweet you wouldn’t dare let a word Escape your lips Fear so blinding you barely see your way through the mist The Familiar stinging from the tears fearing to escape Shaking hands you take a breath Sucking in the salty air two seconds too many Then you speak , while down on bended knee Muster up the courage to release whats on your chest And you cry , you scream in Frustration You pour your soul out Then you smile tears of joy pours from eyes Because for now you know The silence was meant for reflection and nothing more than a battle A fight a struggle So you come bended knee Head bowed With a smile You feel peace For not only the silence But the assurance that this too shall pass

GoodBye By: Kena'i from Ashley

Goodbye, That’s always the hard part The ache left in my chest from your absence Your smile , Your laugh The light you brought to the ones who loved you And the emptiness you leave behind with your exit Sometimes I find it hard to breathe hoping you’ll wake me from this nightmare that feels like an eternity But you won’t So I’m left with this tear filled smile Remembering you Your laugh , Your smile The memories you left with us My garden Angel Watch over us Continue to give us the strength to keep moving To grow And know your death is not in vain So now as this poem comes to an end And we prepare to lay you to rest We know this will never be a goodbye But simply a love you As we bow our heads and feel your tears from the sky For Nyesha We love You Spring 2020| rallyupmagazine.com | 15
