Because of when
The packing starts
And you fold
Uncle's clothes
Find
Cousins' toys
And all the time
You wonder
How to stop them
Leaving.
And you're packing
For an escape
That will never happen.
At least
Not for you.
And you're working
For somebody else's
Bright future
Knowing
That there isn't one
For you.
Because of when
You realise
That you hate them
But
You don't want them to
Go.
