Silent Sibling

A poem from lived experience by Julie, an En-Fold mentor/befriender

Today will be a good day.
While her sibling watches on

We've done all the preparation
While her sibling watches on

Bags full of necessities to make the trip feel safe. Everyone excited
While her sibling watches on

What possibly could go wrong
While her sibling watches on  

I hold her tight just out of sight
While her sibling watches on

We'll maybe come another day
While her sibling watches on

What do I do I cannot choose
While her sibling watches on

I am on my knees, who do I please
While her sibling watches on

My daughter cannot cope today
While her sibling watches on

It didn't go to plan today
While her sibling watches on

We have to leave. Back to the car
While her sibling follows on
