Derrick Gwynn Poems

every day i look at the fear in other peoples eyes
none of them can come close to mine
fearing that every day my family might lose a life
knowing that i must survive
...

I can see the people around me
and how they believe
there life will be
happy and free
...

Down by the river is where i stand
im feeling left in the night
asking if this life
is what life is supposed to be like
...

At the end of the fight
When your heart beats no more
You feel your soul crawl out of your body
And is released from your core
...

You gave me shelter
when i was born.

when it was cold
...
