*Trigger warning-Mention of suicide*

Just today, I saw a bunny run out into the road

I saw and felt the fear in those eyes

I wanted to give the bunny all the bravery I had

I wanted to jump out and help, but I couldn’t

I watched helplessly as my mom and I drove by

A few years ago my grandma passed away

I loved going to her house each week

She spoiled us with cookies and Tootsie-rolls

I loved her so much, I still love her so very much

But I watched helplessly as she slipped away

4 years ago my freind tried to take her life

I stood frozen as a text came through

I yelled, I called, I told my mom to dial 911

I knew what to do as I sprang up and ran

Then I watched the sky helplessly as a siren zoomed by

Uncontrollable things will happen in life,

And you wish you could give others bravery

You wish you could help them be brave

But sometimes you just can’t

Sometimes you just sit there, helplessly watching
