Devastation

Japan's poem

That's the word everyone uses. 

But I see it. 

As a beating. 

Having part of my country torn apart. 

Was not something I was prepared for. 

It's shown me how vulnerable.

I actually am... 

That's right. 

The silent strong one. 

Has finally seen the light. 

Seen how easy it is to have. 

My feet knocked out from under me. 

It's been two years almost. 

And I still get nightmares. 

And I still feel the pain. 

I still cry every night. 

Thinking of how many died. 

How many lost people. 

And how many are without homes. 

And what am I to do? 

I haven't got a clue. 

I'm grateful for the help of my friends. 

But nothing will repair. 

The emotional damage. 

Of me. 

And my people.
