"sticks and stone will break my bones but words will never hurt me."


I used to be a child

But now I am the man of the family

My dad is dead

My mother is dying

And I am sick

Can I go on anymore?

I don’t know

Should I even try to go

Almost everyone I love is gone

All I have is my sister

My whole body itches

I don’t even recognize myself

I am Jonas


The author's comments:

This piece was a class assignment that I wrote about a character in the book I read. This is about Jonas. Jonas was a boy from ashes in the snow who has had a really hard life. This is about how he is feeling.
