Anxiety

8 years ago

He came home to grab clothes for a sleep over

He walked in the door and said hi to her

That moment... Right there... Three stairs up the case

That is where his childhood ended

He didn't go to the sleep over that night 

Instead he stayed home and cried myself to sleep

Countless times singing that hymn and she never changed her mind

How can a simple 8 words ruin an entire 10 year olds life

The next few years spent in darkness 

An empty pit with just his thoughts

It's easy to fake it

All he wants is what was taken from him.

Himself...
