thinking of the life of Chadwick Boseman
how he lived
even as he died
unexpectedly
to us all
but knowing
to himself and wife
he did everything full of life
while deep down
he was literally suffering
and dying inside
taking us all by surprise
we inherit, what we inherit
it’s up to us to deem it as a blessing
or a curse
the curse, is that which we bear
if we choose to see it as such
but the blessing is in that which we give
if we decide to give
even when you rather not
feeling you’ve equally lost and given enough
no, it’s not fair
but that’s not the debate
the debate is
what will you will yourself to become
day in and day out
despite opposition
and will it be passed on
living beyond you
