A letter to the one
Who acts like she is surviving
But your pain shows otherwise
It shows that you are dying
All you wanted
Was to have a life
Not a bed of nails
Not a pile of knives
A victim of abuse
Your voice screaming in stutter
Why do you do this?
Why do I suffer?
You quietly hurt
But your pain visible
It can be seen through your eyes
Your wounds not livable
Torture tearing you apart
Because people "helping" you
Are only making it worse
And you can only push through
Your dad was a ghost
He never bothered to listen
to your words that scratched him
He was never there, memories vivid
He never wanted to help you
To hear your cries
That keep getting louder
On silent nights.
Replaced, you met someone else
Someone who cared
It was the one who listened
The one who was there
But he didn't last long
Only a couple of years
Cancer severed his connection to you
The only thing you had left was tears
Your mother is still alive
You have a bond with her
But she is separated far
Put down deep in the dirt
When you were born
Things were different
She sent you with your grandma
All alone sent for shipment
You were confused
You were just a child
At least she loves you still
And you will see her in a while
Your grandparents seem nice
But you call it an illusion
That is what I saw today
Crying and confusion
It was not fake
All of it was real
They push hard
But that is not how they appeal
I know you love them
I know you cared
But as time goes by
They won't no longer be there
So maybe the pain
All the things you faced
Will slowly be wiped off
And packed deeply away
Your life keeps swaying
It keeps pulling and tearing
From your parents & guardians
Some ripping away your bearing.

I see your life, I always do. It is too much. You deserve rest. I hope you feel better soon serenity. Me, Ella, Emi, we all care. Just remember you are not facing this alone.
