How Poem by Stacey HudakGrant

How am I supposed to breathe,
How am I supposed to move,
How am I supposed to live without you by my side?

How am I supposed to mother,
How am I supposed to play,
How am I supposed to live without you by my side?

How am I supposed to smile,
How am I supposed to laugh,
How am I supposed to live without you by my side?

How am I supposed to push,
How am I supposed to provide,
How am I supposed to live without you by my side?

How am I supposed to drive,
How am I supposed to go,
How am I supposed to live without you by my side?

How am I supposed to dream,
How am I supposed to hope,
How am I supposed to live without you by my side?

I can not.

I can not breathe, I can not move, I can not mother, I can not play.
I can not smile, I can not laugh, I can not push, I can not provide.
I can not drive, I can not go, I can not dream, I can not hope.

I can not live without you by my side.
