The day you died.

I’m typing this and I can’t breathe

I’m watching my professor pacing

Can hear the words ‘agent’ ‘principal’

I can’t….

I can’t breathe

I quickly try to put my thoughts down

I think I’m going mad

My eyes are tearing up

I push my braids to the side

I bow my head so no one notices

I clutch my chest

My head hurts

My heart hurts….so much

You died

You left me

Broke my heart to pieces

And now, I’m trying to breathe
