Katlin Chubb Poem
I know that it wasn’t your choice.
This desire was coursing through your veins
the very minute your little heart beat for the first time.
It was a part of you before you spoke your first word.
Before you could say no.
Before you could distinguish right from wrong, it became right.
This monster rears its ugly head every day.
Every single day.
You’ve found your escape.
But the beast is hungry for more
and preying on the void that you continue to fill
with the very thing that satisfies its appetite.

Katlin Chubb Poem
Play the game of Life in your red Converses.
Try to spit it out, only get these blank verses.
Nothing does it justice and I can’t find the words
To tell you that I’m sorry that your voice was never heard.
It’s absurd
And you’re gone
And we can’t change the past.
We were there to help you- all you had to do was ask.
But we really should have noticed that this wasn’t just a bruise.
A little blip in life when we thought you were confused.
You lit the fuse
And we were shocked but the signs were so apparent.
We chose to brush it off though you made yourself transparent.
You played the bass lines and you sure gave it your all
But your all was not enough and you’d slowly start to fall.
Fading into solitude away from all your friends.
Your clouded thoughts were painful and you said it’s gotta end.
Couldn’t pretend
That you were stable. It wasn’t just alright.
Your tunnel got much darker- at the end you saw no light.
You’re reaching out for help as you slowly start to slip.
No one’s there to catch you, only graze your fingertips
As you stumble slowly downwards to the cold unknown below.
I’m sorry that I wasn’t there. I just want you to know
That I’ve thought about you often and it’s been over a year.
And I’m sorry that it took this long.
I wish you were still here.
