Hurts Me Deep

by Lanna

I’ve seen my own brother die in front of me. It could’ve been me if I was sitting on his side of the car. And even though I am thankful I am here, I still lost my brother and it doesn’t sit right. 

He was always there for me. Whenever I needed him, he was right there. Seeing him in that casket lifeless hurt me deep. It was like losing my best friend. I didn’t think it was gonna happen so soon. I thought we were gonna win together. But I know if he was still here, he’d wanna see me winning, not up in here.

 I’m gonna make him proud of me, no matter how long it takes. I’m a do this for Alex.
