My piece is about losing a family member when I was really young, I didn't know how to cope or how to feel but I remember the whole family falling apart. It was so confusing and heartbreaking to see my family in pain and suffering.
Just a Kid
'Tell her you love her',
but she already knew that,
I couldn't understand why I needed to say it,
she knew that, right?
The days seemed to blur,
how could I understand?
I sat in silence,
the world kept turning - almost too fast.
How was I supposed to feel,
my brain foggy and confused.
I watched as everyone fell apart,
but how could I understand?
They all seemed so sad,
I thought you were coming back.
But the messages never delivered.
The calls didn't get returned.
What did I do to make you go?
Did I push you away?
I could never understand,
I was just a kid.
