Family Bonding Day vs. 2
Family Bonding Day
Here but so distant
here but so gone
at a place where I feel like
I don’t belong.
With my head in my hands
I refuse to say
what I feel in my soul
on this particular day.
Why am I here?
I all but scream
with my dramatic repose
and silent daydream.
Still I sit by their side
my so-called family
and wait ‘til the end
so I can be free.
And again with my friends
who understand me
as I understand them
and that’s all that I need.
Now that I’m 14.
