GOODBYE
by KAT
With you gone, I sometimes feel alone. I see so many people who still have their best loud. Walking the halls talking and laughing. I know you have new friends in this new school and life, but by the end, at night, I know you only think of me by your side. We shared all the secrets in our time. For six long years it was only us side by side. When my papa left and your momma died we both sat up together and cried all night. I still need you because my life isn’t right. I move play to place with every day filled with fights. From fighting my lover, my mother, and my brothers, but most of all fighting myself. My health isn’t good; not because I’m sick, but because I’m overwhelmed. I hope deep down that you’re all right. I hope you’re able to still sleep at night. I hope that everything will be a happy new life, something you like. Because I know I still can’t sleep at night. I wish, I hope one day we will once again be side by side. Until then, now and forever, I won’t be all right.
