Don't snuff out my light,
Before it has a chance to shine bright.
Beat the Odds,
Not your child,
Girl or boy friend,
To be your own partner.
Violence Is,
Not an Option,
Non-Violence is just a lifestyle.
I want to hear laughter,
Not gunfire,
Put Play back in Playgrounds,
Cruel WORDS can hurt too as well.
Hit the Lottery,
Not a child,
Reach for a Peaceful Resolution,
Not a Weapon.
Let My Life Be Elevated,
Not Eradicated,
I want to THRIVE in my neighborhood,
Not just SURVIVE in my neighborhood.
Let my parents plan my life,
Not my funeral,
As a young adult,
Cry at my Graduation,
Cry at my Prom,
Cry at my Wedding,
Just don't cry at my funeral.
