Where Were You? Poem by Kelsey Bachmeier

Words were spoken
Harsh or not
the ones that have been said
Will not be forgot

Personal things were traded
Memories between us
Have succeeded to not be created
To prove I am strong I will no longer fuss

I can live without you
I can make it through
I can breath on my own
Steady now stays my tone

To think I couldn’t carry on
That we could never break our bond
For you and others I stayed strong
But my courage, it felt wrong

When I couldn’t stand,
And needed help
Where was your hand?
