FAMILY GATHERING
The crowded room filled with family & friends has become overwhelmingly small
I’m surrounded by people who love me yet I feel like I wanna cry
Familiar hands rub my back and whispers tell me everything will be alright
In time of course? Of course
I wanna say thank you for coming but I can’t
My thickened tongue and dry throat keeps my awkward but sincere words bottled up
So I don’t respond, I can’t respond
Happiness feels like grief and home just doesn’t feel like HOME
Everyone’s being so supportive but I just wanna be left ALONE
