Alone on Eve

by Ruby Pawliw aged 12

Deep breaths
Hold it in
Tears slide down
Cold on my skin

Look at her
She never cried
Never compared
Never held it inside

Christmas Time
Alone again
It’s okay, just
Pick up the pen

Write it down
For awhile
Breathing slows
I start to smile

You’re not alone
They have your back
It’s Christmas Eve!
Cut yourself some slack
