I remember someone coming out on stage and saying
We9re okay, as far as we know
Announcement from the stage
We9re being ushered out
It9s my experience that we all look out for one another
We9re walking in a long line
We9ve been in touch with my friends
They9re welcoming us in Vanløse
It9s reassuring
We breathe a sigh of relief
The lights go out and the train stops
I think
We9re actually all surprisingly calm
The relief is palpable
As we sit in the car, we feel safe
When we get home, we watch the news
We have to see what has happened
We calm down a little
And both of us can sleep
Your words from Letter No. 2 about skills and values
I found stubbornness
I thought: He won9t be in charge of me anymore
I packed a bag and hid it
I had plans with a friend
I was stubborn and wanted to decide for myself when I would move
It pissed me off that my dad stayed in touch
My dad wouldn9t see how things really were
I9ve had many arguments with my parents about it
I wish they had seen it
I wish they had been there until I was able to...
I wish my family had been there more
I should have been able to do something
