Your petty vibe won't bring me down
And I won't seek you out
Not for conflict,
Or out of curiosity
Or jealousy
Or whatever
I stand where I am at
Not whole but healing
With strong people behind me
And a best friend who will move mountains if needed
I have the love of a few
That equals infinity
And their strength to protect me
Is stronger than your jealousy or anger
No one has taken anything from you
No one is standing in your way
But someone may be on the same path
Someone may have a mighty heart
And someone may be practicing
Her patience, honor, loyalty, healing,
Positivity, resilience, dependability,
Passion, assertiveness and courage
So bring your hurt and anger to the door
That I myself can help you...
And send you back on your way.

Six Feet Under
Buried alive. What a horrible way to go. Yazz lay there, in her own thoughts. What else could she do? She was hungry, thirsty, tired, mentally, and physically exhausted, and more than anything, she was bored. She hoped she would die of boredom before anything else, anything else would've been more painful. Like many people had, she and her friends had talked about what they reckon the worst ways to die were, it was a morbid subject, but it came up every now and again. Yazz had always been one to argue her point on drowning, others had mentioned burning alive, slowly and painfully bleeding to death, hung drawn and quartered, and being starved to death. It was strange that none of them had considered being buried alive, it had never come up. But now, she was thinking back to those conversations her and her friends had had, how could they have not thought about it? It took a lot longer than the others, you were completely confined, you couldn't move or do anything, you just had to wait, until your body was physically unable to support a life system anymore, which could take up to four days. Four! By far the longest out of all of them. She recounted some of these conversations just to try and pass the time, anything to pass the time. It was difficult to know how much time had passed since she had been underground, it was difficult to know anything. There were many things that Yazz didn't know, she didn't know where she was, she didn't know how she'd got into the coffin, she'd just woken up there. Yazz also didn't know what time it was, or even what day it was, she guessed at Tuesday, it was Sunday evening when she'd been buried alive, intentionally, and although it had felt like weeks had passed, she was still alive, which means she hadn't died from dehydration, and therefore it couldn't have been more than four days.
