Still Alive: A Poem by Drew Kaufman

Still Alive

We wanted more

There was no more food left in the cupboard

We were famished

Dad went out for some food

He didn’t come back

It was a long winter

We barely scraped through

Then Tommy started to freeze

And so did my aunt

It was just me and mom

We left home in search of food

Mom got tackled by a creature

She didn’t die

It was our father

Still alive
