Cheated Poem by Sarah Liz Bowman

I feel cheated-And
The pitying stares burn
I don’t know how to be an “adult”
I never had to learn
I’m not alone – I know that
It’s the fact that you’re no longer there
I’ve always been a night owl
Now night brings anxiety that’s hard to bear

I feel cheated - And
I’m not the only one
Why did you wait
Our hearts broke when nothing could be done
No one wanted to believe the news
They thought it was some morbid joke
Being so strong no one expected you to loose

We were cheated- And
It goes to prove

Tomorrow Isn’t Promised to Anyone
