"Teardrop" by Blake
September 29, 2013
This is a poem written by Blake
In my eyes I have a fear
A fear that I think of everyday
Not knowing that I'll be alive
The next minute gone, I think of it often
as I sit here praying for my homeboy that's six feet underground
I close my eyes and wish this wouldn't be for real
Slow and painfully a teardrop
drifts down my cheek
I have anger and pride inside
But in my mind I have fear
That one day it will be me laying here
The fear grows and grows
Each and everyday
That someday I will be next
So as I leave the cemetery I turn back and take a good glance
of all the lives that are gone
but never forgotten
