00:00But this is what my life's like.
00:02This is my life's work.
00:04And I'll fight for a lifeline to make my life long.
00:07And I guess there's no treasure in the sea.
00:10There's many missing pieces of me.
00:12But to find peace in me, it's still a dream to be.
00:16So yeah, I hope you're proud of me.
00:18And I hope one day if I get to heaven, mom,
00:20I hope there's great hospitality.
00:23And when no one's looking, throw me down a white rose.
00:26And if it lands in my lap, my theory will be true, mom.
00:30Heaven does have a balcony.
00:34Oh, my God. Thank you very much.
00:36Thank you, Usain. Beautiful.
00:38Oh.
00:39I think your mom knew that you loved her, Usain.
00:42Yeah.
00:43You know what's sometimes sad?
00:44You work so hard for your parents to see things,
00:46and they never get the chance to.
00:49And then you have to learn to accept and understand
00:51that they were never meant to.
00:53And that's why sometimes the work that I do now,
00:56as good as it is and as amazing as all the people
00:59I get to work with is, it can still feel so empty.
01:03Mm.
01:03Mm.
01:05Your mom's so proud of you.
01:06No, thank you.
01:07Your whole family, and we are as well,
01:09because it wasn't that long ago that we did that interview
01:11with you and you won the poetry competition
01:14and now looking at it all these years later,
01:16you've just written your own poetry book.
01:18And I think, Usain, in the wake of the loss
01:21that so many people have experienced in the last couple of years,
01:24Usain, those words will really resonate...
01:27Thank you very much.
01:27..with people watching. Thank you so much.
01:29Thank you very much.
01:29Thank you, okay,
