All out of band-aids
When a hurricane strikes
Lives lost, homes destroyed
No schools, no supplies store
Hospitals packed with others worse off than you
but it doesn't feel like that,
Who else lost everything?
The HOME where I share memories
Of..the hole in the wall,
When I fell off my bike at the age of 9 and cut my knee,
What about the the laundry room door where my mom wrote my height through the years,
All my journals, art work, and photos
Now I'm in a packed rescue center, over filled with strangers, families sleeping just feet away
This isn't my home
My school is gone, opened up, exposed, in ruins
Every place that I have ever known.. gone
I want food, water, my own clothes
I want one more day to be alone in my room
Me and my family are just one of the many
It's hard to believe one day I had a place
And today I don't know where I belong
The hospital said that we aren't a serious case
We have to wait, others have limbs missing
Others are worst off?
...What if there are no more band-aids?
