" Locked in a dark cage of emotion.
It is better this way."

Gone
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Numb
Anna
The terror is spreading,
It's all I feel.
The incapacitating
grief
and sorrow.
It's taking over.
It's going to ruin me.
It must stop.
It has to.
I sit in my room
phone in hand.
The unshed tears, and immense grief locked,
inside.
Slowly,
So slowly,
It stops, I have locked it.
Away.
Caged the emotions,
The grief
The sorrow.
Locked in a dark cage of emotion.
It is better this way.
No more tears,
No more grief,
I am Numb.

That day
Anna
It was supposed to be my birthday.
My 15th birthday.
The day for celebrations
and happiness
and laughter.
It wasn't.
It was forgotten,
abandoned.
When the news came,
The news that tore me in half.
My rock,
My best friend,
My father figure.
Was gone.
He had died.
My grandfather, was gone.
Taken by another stupid driver.
He was gone.
Gone forever
------------
Funeral
Anna
We all sat through the service.
My ears rang,
with the tears,
sobs,
cries.
And I sat, numb.
Tuning it out.
It was too much.
