His goal was never #specific
With Ideas as vast as pacific
On a day that was hot
SMART swim it was not
For the lifeguards said scene was horrific

Who can help me?

Find a way

Deep in grieving heart
#Smoke cast vast cavern
Where It tore her body apart.
Addiction's yearn,
It turned her centuries old
+ bid cancer start its viscous fight
Until finally beating her to stone cold.
Mother, you can you hear me?
I miss you, oh how I miss you.
