Unaccompanied
BY NATHANIEL TERRELL
Microscopic in fluids was my origin
The form of ashes will symbolize my return
Do not bury my carcass in a sealed casket
Release my remnants from a sable urn
The last decade the road was rocky and harsh
The start of this year, the path is paved smooth
I sought God for direction
Submission gave me the power to rule
It’s not good to look back
When I’m alone, I often reminisce
I had to fly far away
From places that I no longer fit
I see the big picture
I appreciate the little things
I thrive from day to day
I don’t consider you an enemy
We’re too deadly to be allies
A good rivalry keeps a proper balance in place
