LITERARY: Christmas Nightmare by Juzmine Rein R. Iguid

Category: Poetry

Theme: Bereavement, Christmas

Sypnosis: Christmas is everyone's favorite holiday but what if it's also someone's least favorite day?

It's almost Christmas again,

Our memories come flashing back again.

Within a second, there comes the pain—

And I start asking myself repeatedly, "Why did you leave me in vain?"

As tears travel down my skin,

All I want is to be with you again.

Praying for my heart to heal,

Because the pain that Christmas brings me is so real.

While everyone is having some sort of countdown,

Here I am wishing that this holiday never comes back around.
