I realize you are hurting we all feel the same
but babygirl you gotta get up
you got a child to raise
I realize you are hurting girl,
i know he was your man
But see he was my brother too
i'm doing all i can
i know he's your baby's father,
You gotta go on for laina
she needs her mommy now
She doesn't completely understand.
She knows that daddy's gone
and she see her mamma's pain
but girl you gotta get up
you can't let her see you this way

She asked me why mommy
don't get out of bed
She asked me if mommy still loves her the same
What am i suppose to say to that,
She's only six years old
She shouldn't have to go through that.

We've been keepin our eye on you girl
You keep slippin, fallin down hill
It's been 3 months and every day you slip futher away.
...

Aunt Mees i can't find my mommy anywhere
She said she be right back
but i think its been a while
She promised me we'd see my mema today
can you please help me look for her
I don't know where she could be.
She wouldn't have left me here by myself
..would she?

I had so many thoughts running through my mind, as i walked in the door
My heart beating fast

Mommy said she had a headache,
and she needed to go get her medicine
but she wouldn't have left me here all this time

It's okay laina, everything will be fine.
But it wasn't, i went to the garage to see if the car was there.
And there laid your lifeless body
What were you thinking, How could you do this
There should have been a better way
I find this act so selfish
You have a little girl that needed you more than anything.

I walked back in the house
So much running through my head

Why are you crying, is my mommy okay?
I haven't seen you this sad since daddy passed away
Is mommy going too
Aunt Mees why won't you answer me
Its okay please don't cry
Mommy told me she wanted to see daddy again,
Thats where she went huh
It's really okay, she told me she loved me
And we'd all be a happy family again someday...

I wish there was more i could have done

I thought this was a powerful piece. It was nice to see something different from the norm. I thought that the little girl's dialogue went on for a little too long, but other than that it was very good.

Wow..This is so, incredibly sad and powerful. Suicide is a selfish act to those left behind.
This piece is so amazing I really don't know what else to say.
This is going in my library.
Thanks for sharing.

But Im comforted
by the fact that I can hurt inside
all I want to
without anyone ever knowing

Wow. I'm extremely glad I had the good sense to check out some more of your poems. Yet another winner from you here. God, such an emotional piece! Even I wanted to cry at the end. On a more somber and personal note: that is what always kept me from giving up on my life. I've got too many people who need me where I am. Too many who look up to me for support. Including two extremely fragile souls who, if they lost any more, would probably not have the strength to keep going at all. They've lost enough, they don't need to lose me too. I love them like brother and sister. They remind me that I have a purpose in life. I can't let them down, and so I always get back up, with more detirmination than ever before, to keep going no matter what.
