MARCH
March came in a flash.
Books were slapped shut without any hope of continuation
and without any sort of momentum there was a crash.
The days in the calendar passing by confirmed it wasn’t my imagination.
The pain,
the uncertainty.
Everything was real.
And with that came that feel,
that sunken realization that darkness had found a way
into my uneventful family day.
I cried.
I couldn’t believe my aunt had died.
I wanted to be the one in the rain
I begged to be the one to feel all the pain.
Making the ones that less deserve it suffer is unfair
My grandma wiped her hundredth tear,
I could only hold her
as she told me
again,
and again,
the last time she had seen her.
It reminded me of how easily people can die
without any chance to say goodbye.
and I directed all thoughts
concentrated all my hopes
into that ICU where my cousin was trying to breathe
and I only thought
get stronger and
live,
live,
live.
I promise you’ll have everything I can give.
