I Don'T Know How Poem by Neji Fujimori

I sit here watching you struggle to breathe.
I don't know how.

You continue to struggle and look at me.
I don't know how.

You wonder 'Why won't you help me? '
I don't know how.

I'm saying with my eyes 'I'm sorry.
I don't know how.'

I can't help.
I don't know how.

I think and think.
But I don't know how.

You still struggle.
Sorry I don't know how.

They take you away.
I don't know how.

They take you to get help.
I don't know how.

I watch you go and you watch me.
I don't know how.

You go to the nurse.
I don't know how.

They send me to class.
I don't know how.

You come back feeling better.
I'm sorry. I still don't know how.
