Letter to the editor: Loss of my senior year
7:00 o’Clock
Pajamas on and belly full
I sat on the edge of my bed
Learning the news of my year half written
Boatloads of posts and texts and sadness
Seniors crying and parents disappointed
but glad to hold on just a bit longer
How do you feel the loss of something
you’ve never had before?
Never have I had the end of my senior year
Never have I graduated
Never have I turned 18
Never have I lost as much as others have right now
How do you grieve?
Confused about my apathy
and stuck with a feeling of guilt
Realizing I don’t know how to let go
I can’t make myself cry
or feel sorrow that’s not there
I wait for it to come
with wide arms and a gentle heart
Grieving is not one thing
Grieving is all things
A cycle of losing and receiving
A cycle of giving and receiving
A cycle of being when lost
