An Image Of Me Poem by Rayven Forrest

She sniffed and sniffed while a tear rolled from her eyes
Tears from heart break is what she felt inside.
Not wanting to laugh, not wanting to smile
All she wanted to do was cry her eyes out for a while.
Screaming and shouting, 'Mommy, I want to stay with you! '
My eyes began to water because there was nothing I could do
All I could say was, 'It's going to be okay.'
But what more could I say?
We walk a little further the more she broke down
Her face never changed just stayed with a frown.
Finally we hit that last step, it's time to say good-bye
Hoping and wishing it was all a lie.
When that last minute approached she broke down even harder
I had to pick her up because she could walk no further
And that's when I thought to myself...
She's just a little image of me.
