I sit on the wet walkway
Starring at the ducks
I know it's wet and raining
Maybe I will feel the coldness
Maybe I will feel something....

He sits down too, trying to comfort me
Silence.........Five feet apart
I think about so many things
We stay like this

One, Two, Three minutes
After the Sixth, he gets up

It rains harder

I hear rustling
I look.....and see him climbing a tree

Ten, Eleven, Twelve minutes
They arrive
Are concerned, but leave

I bike
Pain, Cold, Wet, Crying
Bawling

I come to the house
Terror takes over
An anxiety attack
I Force Myself To Ring The Doorbell

They let me in
My shoes are off
I am safe in this face of warmth and confusion

The author's comments:
I had had one of the worst fights with my dad and I was seriously depressed. My friends came, but I felt like they didn't care. I mean, I was completely drenched and sitting on wet pavement. But they love me.....
