Tosyn also said that she felt no fear for death and that’s why she lived her life the way she did.

 

The poem reads;

‘’Prize I’ve earned since my birth, my vow to leave a lasting voice after I was

‘’I look into the future and see me cease, I feel no fear, my face won’t even cease

‘’My steps on this earth, a testament to life leaving this place filled with strife

‘’Don’t cry for me, shed tears for yourself for each date you acquire gives you a little less.

‘’Now I know why I live the way I do Any why my mistakes, no second look

‘’If I live my life according to their pace what’s my price in life’s meaningless race?

‘’Too much odds stacked against this fierce soul, so each hour, all I do is attain my goals

‘’Spent a lot of days searching for purpose, Then I put my thoughts into poetry and prose

‘’This is why I was put in this world, be a voice, Put emotions in words

‘’For every tear I shed and times my eye smiled, someone will have known every option I tried.

‘’This cowardly heart felt fear not death Prize I’ve earned since my birth

‘’My vow to leave a lasting voice after I was Find a loyal number to keep fighting my cause

‘’Here lies she who lived short but well No regrets for her, but all her story tell”.
