Second ChanceA Poem by Iliaad ManaiiAlthough I’m here, I feel some parts of me that died forever then. You took my voice, ability to speak or yell. And then I buried all the faith leftover, Deeply, sans return or farewell. But I’m alive. I scream- I hear. The black quit covering my eyes So why imagine day to day How on my neck your hand still lies. When you come close enough to death, survival doesn’t seem so real Whatever gets a second life Will never feel alive as erenow I walk, I talk, I finally breath My body’s filled with lively functions. You shoot me once, There’s two wounds still And only one filled up its hollows. © 2023 Iliaad Manaii |
