Asking


Family

laughing

hugging

crying

screaming

emotions thrown about

the oldest 

to make sense

of mistakes

not

by them

fear

making a stand

sharing a voice

desperate for change

years worth of begging

overthinking

overanalysing

arguments and disapointment

siblings not asking

and doing anyways 

attempting 

a final time

before

following suit

asking

yes

overwhelming peace

rest

happiness ensues

perhaps temporary

but like all things
