Hour 15, Poem 18

I was there during the diagnosis
I was the one to take you to the hospital
Multiple times, back and forth
I was there when you fell down
I was the one to pick you up
I saw you struggle and win
I saw you hopefully looking towards the future
Toxic positivity
I then saw you despair
Disillusioned with the world
Shut in your own little one
I saw you slipping
Day by day
I saw you give up on everything
And I was there when you finally
Decided to let go
And no matter where you are, just know
I will be here to welcome you home.
