Underaged

This, is about my cousin. Shadow is his name.

The first time I saw him drink

He was sixteen

My uncle, his own father had given the shot glass to him

I was so shocked

And mad

I didn’t have the courage to ask him

So I just went into the room and looked away as if I had seen nothing

That night

I had a dream

I dreamed he had died of alcohol

I woke up sobbing

He was my idol

I was so proud of him

I looked up to him

And to dream about him dead?

That’s something I couldn’t deal with

He’s under aged

He shouldn’t be drinking

That was when I was nine

And I was smart enough to know it was bad

So why?

Why did he do it?

I was sure he’s done it more then once…
