Freedom Writers: Poems by Kia Rowel

Pain

Sitting in the dark

Feeling a pain

Not a physical pain

but a mental pain

the pain knowing you're not here

the pain of not hearing yo voice

Not seeing yo face no more

It feels like this pain will

never fade away...

My love for you is unconditional

I will miss you forever

This pain is unbelievable

If we could only trade places

Just so the twins, Lil Don and

Geia, could have their father

Even doe Me and You didn't have

ours. I love you and

I miss you but Ima keep my

head up just for you...

          Rest Brother

My Streets

In my streets I see teenage boys

getting shot for a toy

In my streets I see drug houses

Change needs to come.

My streets are little girls with

little girls

I see holes in my streets

Will change ever come?

I see Poverty

Change will someday come.

My street there is black on black

Violence

There is racism with hatred

In my streets I see 

New Orleans.
