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.

Parents & Guardians
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.
