Young Mistakes

We can try,
but will we ever fill the gaping holes in our chests?
how did you feel when your light began to fade?
Was it okay? Did you notice the Darkness?
Did their faces cross your mind before any decisions?

your Mother was waiting up at night,
did you care for her sleep?
your Siblings’ soft, pink faces stared up at you,
could you find answers to their questions?

It’s okay, wandering mind,
your youth has fooled you.
Keep aware of all that was lost
but rid your stomach of the sadness within.

You will know when you see them smile.
Cough up your pain, there is no room for it inside.
and when you close your eyes at night,
rest well knowing they all still love you
and they’re all still here to tell you that.
