The Funeral
Determined not to cry at my Nan's funeral and then becoming detached from my emotions.

There I sit dressed up in black,                                                            
Eyes are fixed so I don’t crack.                                                            
They say a prayer, sing a song;                                                            
I’ll just sit, I must be strong;                                                            
I won't cry, I won't be stirred.          
Stranger speaks, but empty words;          
Who is he? I do not care!                                                            
He can’t know our true despair.                                        
How can this mean anything?                              
No saddened thoughts does it bring.                                        
I cannot feel, not today,                                                  
I can’t cry this pain away;                                                  
Not like those who bow their heads,                              
Don’t I care that she is dead?
