There’s a death worse than the one that stops your heart—it’s the kind that kills your trust, your peace, your hope. I was raised in the Nation, where colors and codes were supposed to mean unity, brotherhood, survival. But somewhere between loyalty and bloodshed, the lines blurred. My closest friend became a stranger, my own family turned into an enemy, and the same principles we swore by became twisted by greed and betrayal. I walked away from the life to build a better one—for my wife, for my kids. But the past never lets you go quietly. It haunts. It hunts. And one day, it found me… in the most sacred place I let my guard down. What followed was not just an execution—it was a betrayal so deep, it tore through every bond I thought unbreakable. Family. Brotherhood. Nation. All shattered in the name of revenge and broken pride. This isn’t just a story of gang violence. It’s a story of love, loss, survival, and the haunting silence of a man dying with his eyes open…

This is the first poem I've ever written. It’s about memory, mortality, and the quiet ways we carry each other, even without knowing it. I hope it finds you gently.

Chapter#2: The Past _____________________ Warning(s) ___________ Mentions of blood, gore, death, faint implications of abuse. Summary __________ You're mother sent you away to marry some guy just before your 18th birthday, despite your pleas for freedom. Your mother was miserable. She only talked about 'the one true god', and 'The protector'. You had been slaughtering cows and pigs, and chickens before you could even see over the counter. Most people would be disgusted by things like that. The blood, the gore,, the violence, the smell of rot. But not you. You had been desensitized to all of it. It was nothing new to you, if anything, it fascinated you. ____________________________ (Author's note: this chapter is really short, sorry!)
