When It Hit

When it hit, I cried.
After it all happened, I cried.
When the dust settled, it was so much turmoil I could see.
My family had been stripped from me.
Home wasn't home no more.
Mom wasn’t mom no more.
Dad wasn’t dad no more.
I was searching for answers, looking for someone to blame.
This wasn't part of the game.
It got so bad that I was scared to ask
About anything because I didn’t know what I would find.
Mountain peak to valley low,
I knew they were getting bad, just thought they would break through.
I could feel the pain they both felt.
I had so much in me that I kept
All inside because no one cared about me.
Never asked about me and my feelings…
Just poured theirs on me, taking me from feeling to having no feeling.
When it happened, I cried.
When it hit, I cried.
Just that fast,
My life change forever
Never felt so low, so stripped.
Now I'm just trying bounce back and make the best of this.
