I Wonder

by Heather   Jul 15, 2006


You try to hide the truth from me.
But the truth always comes out.
You try to keep me from the bad things in life.
But they're all around us.
You try to protect me.
But I need to protect myself.
You don't tell me when things are wrong.
But I find out anyways and wonder.
You tell me that you're sick, and it'll be OK.
But I wonder when you're going to die.
Are you going to see me graduate from high school?
What about college?
Will you see me get my first real job?
Will you be able to see me in my white wedding gown?
I wonder all these things because you're sick.
I wonder if you really will be OK...
Or if you just don't want me to cry.
I'm afraid of coming home one day and getting a phone call saying you're really not OK.
I wonder if I'll see you at the hospital.
Before you're old and wrinkled.
I wonder how much I'll cry.
I wonder when you'll leave me.
I wonder... if I'll ever be alright.
You are my Aunt.
My hero, the one I look up to.
You are like a second mother to me.
I love you, and want you here for me.

    I liked it....it sounded like it could have been a song. The only thing that I didn't like is that, I think, it could have been more organized. *4/5*

    Some nice repetition. Not really strong in the wording but it's cool. Emotion usage was great. The way it seemed sounded really heartfelt and really touching. Nice job on that. Content great but still it's the words that kinda brought this down. Nice job because it reaches out on the emotional plain quite.

    This is a very well written peice, though at first I was unsure as to the meaning of its content it quickly came together into a strong clear peice. the repetition works very well and your expressions are shown well. I am sorry for what you are going through. this peice is fantastically written

    5/5
