It's that time of year
Gathering gifts
Smiling ear to ear
Decorating your house, for that special day
Making plans with your family
Trying to find things to say
Stressing over the money
And if they'll like what you get
Your mom tries to soothe you "Don't worry honey"
But it isn't Christmas yet
It's supposed to be a happy time of year
Not arguing with family
Ruining cheer, with tears
A lot of us aren't lucky
To have everyone with us
For the holidays
A lot of wish we had things to say
To the ones we love
But can't be with us today
Thankful for family we still have
And thankful for what we have
That we were able to keep everything else
But material things don't really matter
When you've lost yourself
The pain so deep
So bittersweet
As you try to be happy
Because you know they wouldn't want you to be sad
Some kids are happy and families can smile
Some kids are praying "I wish I could see my dad"
Just wanting one happy memory for a while
Holidays are special
And dear to our hearts
So it's hard to see our family depart
There can be good in this world
I know there can be
Its just life doesn't seem worth living
Where the ones I love can't be around me
I am thankful for what I have
And who I have by my side
But that doesn't mean, I'm not allowed to miss
Everyone who's died
I will try to be happy for the holidays
Because family should unite
When there's loss and everyone is lost
We shouldn't fight
So,
Hold your family
Know it's going to be alright
You only need one person
Even if it's just you, at the end of the night
A/N: Hello readers, it has been a crazy month since I last updated. As you've just read, painfully obvious, there was a death in the family. And my friends have lost many people the last year so it's a tough time as usual. And money is always tight so that's a added stressor. Holidays isn't about gifts anyway, it's about spending time with your family. Even if you don't have much family. Sorry it's not exactly a happier note to update, but this book hasn't really been happy in the first place. I was doing a lot better mentally. I have a special someone in my life and we both were going through hell, but I think we'll be getting out of our situations soon, thankfully. I'm finally trying to be productive in school again, took me long enough.😂 Anyway there's a semi-Christmas update, it's sad but it's true for everyone around the world with whatever tradition they celebrate this time of year. I'm still getting back on track, so updates are still random, I wish I didn't keep saying that but it is what it is. Vote, comment what you think. I miss Wattpad so much.
Happy Holidays
Until then.
