What am I?
What am I to you?
A little bump in your road?
A little problem you side step?
Am I comic relief?
Am I a shoulder to cry on?
When you’re sad,
When you’re scared,
I always come running
Why do I do this to myself?
Sticking around for you?
Holding on til you get back?
Am I just pathetic?
Can I not let go?
I can’t move on
I can’t go on
Without you
Was I always like this?
Holding you back?
Keeping you at home?
Am I too weak?
Am I not strong enough?
To go on
To move on
Without you
Why does it happen?
Leaving me behind?
Going on without me?
Am I dragging you down?
Am I holding you back?
Let me know
Tell me
Please tell me
Whose face do I see?
Every time I wake up
And look in the mirror
Did I always look tired?
Did I always look scared?
I don’t know
I don’t know
My reflection isn’t me
Why do I miss you?
So much that it hurts
And nearly kills me
Were you always so distant?
Were you always so far away?
I can’t remember
I can’t remember
I see you
I see you
Clear as day
Calling my name
It’s been a long time
A very long time
Since you called my name

I look forward to reading more of this young poet's work.
