“I’m here.”
Why do they act so much like them?
Same used smile…
Same name…
Same use of words…
They have grown too familiar
To him in the pile.
His name of the figure
The one that’s filled with shame.
Every word couldn’t be filtered
It went on specific terms.
“They’re like us…
Like them.”
Way too much like
Them.
Read the rest of the poem Show less
That gave me a random spark
to check on them,
to make sure they are
okay
every day.
I don’t like seeing them
sad,
or hurt,
or mad,
they’re too young.
I wish to bring them out of
what they go through,
out of the bad things
because they’re too young.
But every day,
they wander off.
Leaving me worried.
“Have you seen them?”
“Have they spoken to you?”
“Where have they gone?”
Am I annoying them?
Am I doing too much?
Are they lost?
Looking for them
as if they are my kids
I barely met them,
Why am I acting like this?
They’ve already went through so much
Why must more be added?
I can’t and will not lose them.
No, I will not let that happen.
I need them to know that I’m here.
always.
Even if they deny, I will prove it.
One day.
