standing there.

Laying there. 

Drugged eyes looking up

"why did this happen? 

what did you do? 

this is not what i imagined 

who would allow this to happen?”

No words,

No expressions, 

palpable depression.

"do you want to go home?"

home. 

Mother,

sister,

brother,

father,

I have none of these… 

Mother,

Never was never will

sister,

Gone without a trace

Brother,

Just my imagination.

Father..

"why did this happen? 

what did you do? 

this is not what i imagined 

who would allow this to happen?”

The one to look up to.

roll model, 

Teacher, corner stone, enemy,

Friend.

no conversations, 

"yes" "No"

all with hesitations 

Its all like charades.

but dont give up. Please dont give up. 

I still care, I dont show but i still care. 

Help your self, help me, help you. 

So estranged.

Who are you? I barely know you.

I have to help you?  I barely know you.

why did this happen? You did nothing wrong

What did you do? You did nothing wrong

This is not what i Imagined. He doesnt care.

who would allow this to happen? He doesnt care.
