That voice,
My favourite sound.
But why did it sound so different?
why was there so pain much in it?
I look back and I see her crying.
Why was she crying so bitterly?
What could be so painful?
What must've broken her heart into so many pieces?
Who could have hurt her so badly?
I run towards her, asking her what the problem was.
Couldn't she hear me?
I hug her,
She doesn't notice.
Why can't she hear me?
Why doesn't she feel me?
Then I see dad walk towards us with tears in his eyes too.
Dad was crying,
Dad never cries.
He hugs her and she hugs back.
He doesn't take note of my presence
Why could she notice him and not me?
Why didn't he acknowledge me?
I look around.
Why are we in this place?
It smells of pain and grief.
I call out to Dad,
He doesn't respond.
I shake his hand,
Nothing.
He was so deep in grief that he couldn't notice me.
I see my siblings in the corner
All hugging each other with grandma talking to them,
Shock and pain evident in their eyes.
What could grandma be saying to them?
What was going on?
Did I oversleep again, like I always do?
Did I miss an important information?
Why didn't anyone wake me up?
Did we loose someone?
Why wasn't anyone noticing me?
Why couldn't anyone tell me what was going on?
A man in white coat walks in,
He asks if he could take the body.
What body?
What is he talking about?
It was then I noticed something,
Something that had been there the whole time,
Something i had refused to acknowledge,
The answer to all my questions.
Turning around, I saw,
Was that a mirror?
If it were a mirror, why was I lying down?
Why did I look so pale and lifeless?
Why did I look so cold and different?
Is that really how I look?
Then mum runs through me and towards the mirror.
How could she run through me like I was nothing but air?
How is that possible?
At that point, I looked down at hand
It was transparent
How can I see the floor through my hand
How could I be transparent?
It then hit me.
I had overslept again,
But this time, there was no waking up.
A heart breaking story, you should enjoy your life when you're still alive so you'll don't have any regrets in the future.
