In It Together

By Hannah Durham-Arnold, Year 12

It's an affinity to wallow
they said they found it in my bloodstream.
Like a hereditary conscience - I have all I know from nothing.

My crutches start to splinter now and I can see 
you pose to run
because every time I slip, I tumble
and I shield you from the sun.

I lost myself a long time ago, found my
reflection on a milk carton,
And I wish I saw your face more
But for now I face the damages
of how when you watched me wither
I pulled you 
under.
