Where were you?
I ask my stamina
"Where were you-"
"When Dad knocked his wrath on Mum, and severed thousand hearts and minds-"
"When Mum roared in pain and screamed at us-"
"When my little brother sobbed helplessly, begging me whether Mum would evacuate us behind-"

I bash my forehead against the wall and ask my stamina again,
"Where the hell were you-"
"When I missed my strength and whimpered for help-"
"When my realm came tumbling down and floating off the surface-"
"When tears shaped rivers and rinsed away through the tunnels"

"Where were you-"
"When my family fell distant, when I attempted to run away from home-"
"When darkness overwhelmed me and dazzled my path-"
"When all I felt was sudden illness, when my psyche yelled out in insanity-"
"When they shoved me onto the van and carried me away-"

"Where were you?!" I howl, banging at the door helplessly as anxieties attacked my throat, clamping every breath in me.

Finally, I go mute, crying silently.

"Be here with me, please." I whisper to it.
"Stay here with me for everyone left." I weep, "Loan me your strength. I want to be strong again."
