“This is For my People Who Lost Somebody”

“This is For my People Who Lost Somebody”

adapted from the poem”This is for my People” from M. Walker

This is for my people who lost somebody

with the world ahead of them

and waiting for their life to become normal again.

For my people,

who lost a family member

who lost their best friend.

For my people,

who are believers that somehow they will come back

who are still living in the past.

For my people,

who are never, ever going to let go

who are always going to remember.

For my people,

you’re never going to say bye!
