Suddenly Poem by Rachel Brewer

Suddenly, I’m on my own.
The spotlight is on me.
I don’t know why?
I never wanted this.

Suddenly, there’s no one by my side.
I’m standing in the light,
And I don’t know why.
Tell me why?

Why is this light in my direction?
What did I do to deserve it?
I don’t want it.
Take it away.

I mean it.
I can’t deal with this on my own.
I need people by my side,
But where did they all go?

Suddenly, they all went away.
I would give anything,
No everything,
To get them back again.

Suddenly, I’m on my own,
The spotlight is on me,
And I don’t like it.
