Canada


Why can't anyone ever see me?

I'm standing right here.

Blatantly obvious, yet see through like glass.

No one sees me.

Not my family, not my brother.

Not my friends.

Not even by my pet bear.

I'm the forgotten one.

I'm alone and on my own.

So, why am I still here?

Why do I keep on suffering?

Why can't I end it now?

Why can't I pull the trigger and let it all go away?

Am I that much of a chicken?

What do I have to lose?

No one cares about me!

So… why can't I do it?


"Canada!" a heavy accented call rang throughout my house. "I'm here! Where are you? Don't make me find you! Honhonhon…"

A small smile crept up on my face. Oh yeah. That's why.
