PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

As she woke up, dreaming of how she passed the exam, from her nap. After not sleeping the night before, studying for algebra 101 which she was failing.  She heard some weird noises from the hall, like the wind was entering through the wrong door. She stepped out of her room, there was no one at home apparently, the noises where from her older brother’s room. It was only the window, someone had left it all open. As she closed the window, she noticed some white paper sheets on his bed. Of course she was going to read them, she was alone in his brother’s room, with whom she has a great relationship, but recently she knew there was something going on with him . She had to read something that he might have written.

 “ Here I am now, there is no going back. I have made my decision, maybe before leaving I’ll turn back, but as you may know I have never ever regret one of my decisions. Here I am now.  Mom and dad for the first time, I ask you to take this seriously, not everything in my life is football. But I know you always made for me and have given me everything that you think was the best for me and I love you for that. Dear Bella, my beautiful and lovely sister I love you with all the love someone can give to another person. My life has always been about God, family, friends, school and sports. I am very happy for the kind of life my parents have given me. I am thankful for my friends, who have made me shape my life in a different way that my parents have, but also in a good way. I have done some good things, lots of bad stuff too, but I don’t regret a single one, neither the good ones nor the bad ones. Because without them I wouldn’t be myself. I also would like to thank my ancestors, the “far away in decades” ones for fighting for life, for building the cities I know, for creating a better and easier life for us. And to the closest ancestors, for picking this country, this city, catholic religion, public schools, and for creating the beautiful food recipes I eat everyday. I want to thank God, for always being there for me, even do I let him down almost every single time, also for giving me everything I have and for creating hope where and when there was none. Now its time for me to take my decision, I am sorry if I have failed anyone, maybe with this decision you’ll be more disappointed in me than ever, or maybe, you will be as happier as you can be for what I have just done. Please, never forget all that I have made, I know I have laughed more than a million times, I know I have given more than a million hugs and kisses to you all. I am happy, and I think I’ll be happier in this place I am going. Hope I get to see you one day “

As she was finishing reading his letter, fighting to breath, the paper sheets now filled with tear drops. As she started to read the last paragraph in the letter, she heard a big awful bang sound outside her front door.

“I am sorry. Maybe, in some way I’ll be closer to you now.

… there is no going back”

The end.
