Not There Poem by Wensday Wood

She misses me
And would like
To talk to me
But I can't
Because I’m not there

Another can't stop crying
And breaking down
There is no way
Of supporting her
Because I’m not there

This is his last year
Of high school
And I won't be able
To see him for a
Long time
Because I’m not there

The Guy has a girlfriend
Who cheats on him
But I can't prove it
Because I’m not there

She has hormonal migraines
And only discovered it
A few days ago
I’m not sure if she is okay
Because I’m not there

A friend’s temper
Just got shorter
And he can calm down
If I talk to him
But is impossible now
Because I’m not there

Someone has been
Talking to me less
And less but I can’t
Talk to him much
Because I’m not there

One starts high school
Next year as a freshman
She has everyone there
And she won't need me
Anymore for anything
Because I’m not there

How hard will I try
To go back there
Before I start sacrificing?
I have no idea
Because I'm not there
