Escaped from fears
Smiles hiding tears
Yet Unable to sleep
Emotions Buried so deep
Losing a friend
Trying to comprehend
A candle snuffed out
Turning away in doubt
A father deceased
Farwell, We feast
Another sky turned gray
Hearts left in disarray
Return of Wrongdoer
Smiles become fewer
Drugs to help cope
Losing what little hope
Feelings to address
Family in distress
A mother points blame
A heart left maimed
Apology never received
False affections believed
Silent the line stays
As I've departed ways

Escaped from fears
Smiles hiding tears
Yet Unable to sleep
Emotions Buried so deep
Losing a friend
Trying to comprehend
A candle snuffed out
Turning away in doubt
A father deceased
Farwell, We feast
Another sky turned gray
Hearts left in disarray
Return of Wrongdoer
Smiles become fewer
Drugs to help cope
Losing what little hope
Feelings to address
Family in distress
A mother points blame
A heart left maimed
Apology never received
False affections believed
Silent the line stays
As I've departed ways
All in 1 year, I lost my step dad, my cat, and my grandfather. After my step dad passed, my "older brother" who had also made me a victim came back into the house I loved in. I tried my best to keep the peace and pretend he wasn't there but eventually I had a panic attack and had to go to the hospital and everything got let out. My mother acted as if she supported me but in the end, she was only looking out for herself. I ended up leaving without a plan and cut all contact with her and him. 22 years of silence finally breaks and my world turned upside down.
