Life Poem

Some say life is great,

but others treat life with hate.

I know days are bad,

but they will soon be good.

I know I’m always sad,

but that’s just who I am.

I have trauma,

but I know it hurts.

I’m going to get through it,

but it burns.

My name is A’Shiyah,

but I like to be called Shi.

Sometimes I feel like life is worth a try,

but my mom named me that name.

And I want to cry.

Sometimes even though I’m still alive,

I can thrive.
