Change I did not ask for
Came unannounced
Life forever marked
Pain cannot be pronounced
Father died from lung cancer
Gone without a trace
Anger became my name
Wore it on my face
Moved to another state
Attended a different school
Endless adjustments
No written rules
Grief is so unresolved
Years have passed
Coping is a challenging task
Barely getting by
Invisible, 2023
