Pieces of Me: The Death of Kaliko LaToi
This journey has taken us thirty two years, You've experienced my good times and pacified my fears.I'm sad right now and no one can see, that burying you kills pieces of me.
You were there when they raped me, you helped me to hide, the shame and the guilt and the pain left inside.
I'm going to be alright now because I understand That I can walk through this life without you holding my hand.
Today I bury you, Kaliko LaToi, but I resurrect upon your life a genuine piece of joy.
I know this seems strange, but this is how it has to be. In order for me to leave you behind, I'm leaving those pieces of me.
I've always used ypu as a crutch, we were never really friends
I really thought I needed you but you'd kill me in the end.
I know when people see me they will always picture you, but I'm different now I don't know how but I'm getting rid of you.
No I won't be perfect, but without you in my life I know I'll be a better mother, daughter, friend and wife.
I know that you will miss me, we've been together for so long
I shed pieces of me to bring peace to me good bye I'm moving on.
