This is a poem in response to a video I watched of a young girl, the same age as me, who’s both parents passed away suddenly.
I try to be strong
I try to hold on
But the pain is more
Than I can take
A knife to the stake
I try not to cry
Hold my face up
Towards the light
But it mocks me
It locks me tight
It speaks the smiles
That I lost
It shines on the innocent
At what cost?
For love that was near
For bruises that will wear
For memories that will fade
Into eternal shade
I hold my head up
I hold the pain in
I try not to cry
I try to grin
I don’t want to be strong anymore
It’s harder to fake a smile
Pretending like they are not gone
They won’t be just another note in the file
When can I stop this game
They are in peace
While I walk in pain
When will I forget the deceased
They’re not in pain
Anymore
Let the tears
Pour
Cheers
@ Camile McGregor
Beautiful.
