Family Matters

It's been three years,
 all the fears, all the tears, 
I can't hold them back, 
it's been three years, 
and still I can't hold in all the pain from within,
 it's been three years since I last got to see you, 
see your beautiful face, and now all I can do is picture your face,
 try to stay positive they say, 
you'll make it through, so I continue to walk and hold my head tight,
 cause if I don't It might pop off and someone might get caught, 
I'll start to go crazy,
 insanely, and mentally unstable,
 Its been three years, and still no one knows my full story,
 my full life,
 just bits and pieces, 
I'll never be completed, 
I'm a thousand piece puzzle, but ten are missing.

-Levi Davis.

Well written Levi! Being separated from your loved ones can cause tremendous pain - and somehow memories are not enough to fill in the pieces. Nice write!
