Left Behind Poem by Zainab Hussein MNSR

I look around
Hopelessly
And I finally realize
that I am left behind

Asking for help
is not my thing
but nothing else comes in mind
as I am left behind

I walk up to the man
with the graying beard
and ask him if he saw
any of my family

I explain my situation
also not my thing
but I can't do anything else
I am left behind

Just then
at the corner of my eye
that I notice a young lady
known to be my elder sister

I am not left behind after all
They have simply been looking around
I run to my sister
and hold her hand tight
so that I won't ever
ever be left behind
