Waiting   

She awaits her super hero brother’s return home,
She hasn’t seen him for days.
She wonders how he is feeling
And how much he has missed her
Or why he hasn’t called
She sits there worrying and waiting.

She is anxious from the waiting
She just wants him safe in the comfort of their home
If she had his number she would have called
Does he even worry about her?
She can’t throw away of this gloomy feeling.

Her parents worry about her depressed feeling
She is jaded of waiting
Her parents want her to talk cause it’s healthy for her
All she wants is to run away from home
It has been a sorrowful 220 days
Frantic caring grandparents have already called.

Three times he has called
He doesn’t even question how she is feeling
He won’t be home for days
He isn’t even pitying when she sits there crying and waiting
He says he wants to come home
He says he misses her

Fighting happens around her
This is what their parents sort of love is called
Him craving to live at home
Parents giving off a hateful feeling
They are exhausted from the waiting
Her mom has been crying for days

He doesn’t go to school for days
He won’t even go for her
The teachers are waiting
The principal has called
Tired is the feeling
If only he came and remained home

Finally, after days, my super hero is home
The family is done waiting
This feeling of hers is called happiness!

    1. Well actually Brooklynn I wrote this poem about my brother who ran away from home awhile ago and what I went through and how it felt. My brother and I are REALLY close and when he was gone it literally felt like a piece of me was missing. Change of subject though, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
