Confrontation
When you are confronted
How do you react
I didn’t know
Didn’t feel it until it was done
I look down and see the blade through my heart
So that’s what it’s like
But then how do you react
I still don’t know
At least the pain is gone
And the wound is healing
About this poem
Dealing with my mom’s cancer diagnosis.
