Help Her

Everyday she watches sitting in that chair her heart pounding constantly she stares everyday she listens to the reasuring sound a steady beep a rythm meaning a heart beat can be found every night she worries when she's told that she must go yet she knows she must be strong her fears she must not show everynight she comforts her little brothers cries while she hopes he doesn't see the worry in her eyes every morning she wakes up and takes her brother to his school then heads back up to the hospital even though there's nothing she can do she stays a bit then leaves heading off to her job but she's only seventeen at schools where she belongs bills to pay mouths to feed stressing her young mind she too young to know what to do she's stumbling around blind every day she worries while she struggles to get by everyday she watches as her mother slowly dies
