death
I hung up the phone with a force that startled me
They asked me to stay, to talk about how I feel
All I wanted was to get out of there
I asked to go back to class
They let me go without a second glance
The way back to the room was blurted
By way warred tears
A staff member asked me what happened,
My emotions where ragged and torn
I broke even more
In a class where everyone sings
You notice when someone is not
When my friends turned to hug me
It was all over, I broke down
I couldn’t hold it anymore
I was led to the hallway
Where three of my friends watched me cry
That was the last time I cried
For my cousin Linda
