The Interview Room

Why am I here?

You tell me, we want to hear

We want to know the you before all this happened

You aren’t trapped in………

Just tell us your story, we promise

Don’t worry

Get me out!

Please…….don’t shout.

We are here to help.

To try and understand you

The you before this.

I know you want rest, and you try and do what’s best..

WAIT. Is this a test? 

No, we will give you what you need here

Skies don’t break here

You are safe here.

Their eyes fill and you feel their pulse race in the room

Face mangled from confusion to laughter

But you stay still because you remind them

That solidarity can exist in stillness

I know you hear them

A terrifying truth of your reality that

We say we know is true

We hear YOU  

Don’t forget you matter too.  

We don’t know what you went through  

You want to go to a home that may not be there

Or a family that may not care

Its hard to bare

It makes you feel like life is unfair

Tearing us apart.. me and  you through the tether that brings us all together

“Life is tough” we say

You ask us to ….show you the right way

Let’s get you started on your first day

Here is the pamphlet

Please take morning and night

Maybe tomorrow, will be more bright.
