We're drowning
We're choking on newspapers,
Piles of clothing,
The quietness.
There's a constant raincloud outside our house-
Only ours,
Not our neighbors.
Its been this way ever since you were gone.
I want to help
And I don't want to help
Yet I don't want mom to cry
Why can't you come back?
Dear Papa, why am I so selfish?
I want to know why.
It wasn't this way when you were around,
I could get up and do whatever I set my mind to,
Now I'm drowning.
Drowning in my studies,
Drowning in the fifth that fills our house to the brim,
Drowning in emotions,
Emotions I've never felt before,
Why did it turn out this way?
Dear Papa, why couldn't you stay?
