Looking Up
She always gets sad
On her birthday like me
But for a different reason,
Anyone can see,
She says that she killed 2,000 people or more
On her birthday September 11th
On that exact day when 9-11 was going on
My aunt was being born and now her disappointment
In herself is strong.
She was born on that day,
Now her husband has cancer,
Her brother died an alcoholic 2weeks before Christmas two years ago,
My grandma her mom is in pretty bad shape
But she looks up at the sun
And the happy days of fun
And does the best she can to keep it up
Now my grandma and uncle are doing much better
Thanks to her looking up!
