Alaska Young
September 19, 2014
Strawberry Hill was her kingdom
Books, her fortress
A barrier was put around her
Everybody was on the outside
Fighting to get in
She played pranks and smoked
To die as she said
Speed was the one
Who took her instead
Many were lost
False words were said
Tears were spilt
Over the dead
Her dreams lived on
Philosophy was told
Theories ran wild
But she was the one
Alaska Young
