Stay Alive Poem by Raimi Babatunde

Your story is inspiring
But it is not supposed to end here
The challenges and struggles
I know how it deeply feels
You already dream of the other side
Nothing is as real as it seems
You have a great future ahead
Don't do it, please!
You are a part of our glory

Our ideals have not changed
One man, one woman, every child
They all matter and are equal
We can fight this scourge together
It starts with you, yes you!
You may begin by talking the talk
This is the first in the healing process
Trust me, we are in this together
You will never be alone!

Let's start all over
Remember your childhood dreams
When we flew kites high in the skies
When we played football in the rain
We played in pants without fears
Remember your childhood crush
He is still very single and available
You can still be who are destined to
If you just believe in you

I have seen it happen
One second to your shame
HE will show up
You've got to believe
If you really want the future
Please forget the past
Take the lessons and move
Like a lighting, thunder, move
The world awaits your manifestation

Dear Friend
If you really want to talk
To a friend, buddy with a listening heart
I could be your "Go to" person
Guess what? I am a phone call away
I will be right here for you
All you got to do is knock
And together, we will weather the storm
Stay alive!
