What’s Life Without You? by Zoey Lynn Diaz
Mhmm…
J’miah tells me, “Imagine your life .” There’s only one thing that replays in my head, which is losing my Dad .
Yeah, some people might say: Yeah, I think about it, but that’s not happening right now. Go live life. You have all this time, you’re young . I just want to be ready for when that time comes so I won’t be anxious . I just want to know the answer . What is my life going to be without you, Dad?!
So, what I guess I’m trying to say is: I can’t see or know what I’m going to be doing when that time comes, and I get notice from something or someone .
Ugh . Eww, this is so sad… Yeah, I think I’m done .
Wait, wait .
Another way I can say this is: when I think of the future, it’s not what I want to be or what I’m going to be doing at twenty-five years old, because all I think about is my Dad . It’s always you, Dad .
Dad, Dad, Dad—I love you . But can you stop blocking me from seeing me in my future?
