Happy Anniversary

No one ever asked me if I was ok,

No one ever asked me have you cried today, 

A couple years have gone now,

And I remain silent,

The sheer strength of that I endow, 

It was the ones who I thought were like family, 

And those who would never be. 

No one ever asked me, do you need a shoulder?

That's because I'm the one who acted older,

There was someone who I needed to protect, 

And there were people there only looking to collect,

Suddenly, our home was not our home,

We were strangers, foreigners, two women entilted to nothing,

Grieving was not apart of your course,

And you ALL pushed us out without remorse,

Family

HA

I always knew that wasn't true.

No one ever asked me how I feel,

In case you're wondering, I don't feel like I've healed,

But it's all been quiet until now,

I swear, I vow

To you that I'm alright,

It stings is all,

Keeps me up at night,

Because I don't think you realize how I lost someone too,

They're reading the will, hurry that's your cue,

Even after all this time you still think this poem is about you,

But it's not,

It's about the person you never thought to ask,

Are you ok?

Have you cried today?
