My Dad
I said the same thing twice.
As if that will help me remember.
I said the same thing three times.
As if that will help you remember.
My dad is on his way.
He’s never been in a hospital before.
My dad is on his way.
I will try to smile for him.
So he remembers me fondly.
He says he’s proud of me.
As if this is a celebration of my life.
But I am still alive.
I am only 22.
