A poem written by late radio broadcaster, Tosyn Bucknor which predicted
her death has surfaced online. The 37-year-old radio personality was
reportedly found dead by her husband, Aurelien Boyer on Monday night and
her elder sister Olufunke Bucknor confirmed that she died due to
complications from sickle cell. However, the late OAP had written a poem
which had gone viral, few days before her death, urging her friends and
family not to cry when she’s gone but shed tears for themselves. 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”.
