I am in love and I am happily married! Music allows my soul to escape from discomfort. I can be in the most scowling mood ...

Ohana
Miranda Reising Jul 2013
My grandma once told me
ohana means family
as she baked hawaiian bread
and then as years progressed i thought to myself
well if ohana means family
why don't we receive christmas cards anymore
if ohana means family
why cant we go one dinner with the tv off and nobody talking on the phone
at dinner we watch a show about a loving family
if ohana means family why cant we be like that family on tv
you know instead of eating ice cream at  home
why cant we go out for ice cream to show the world that we could be a family
if ohana means family why cant we make the commitment to be one
and i know deep down
none of us could ever live without eachother
but since ohana means family
why cant we be able to show it
my grandma was the one that told me the
meaning of ohana
i just wish she was still here today
to make sure our
ohana
was still close

OHANA

Ohana means family and family is forever
But the times get rough when we all aint together
Who's fighting with who
And you're walking around crazy cause you don’t know what do.
When one says a name the other one flinches  
and every time you turn around another one is *******
What happened to the times wed **** for each other
Take a bullet for each other
Now its turned  into "We'd **** one another"
everyone's depressed cause none of us are talking
Then it gets worse when one of us goes walking.
Ohana means family but sometimes family aint forever.

The house is made for six people
But I feel like I am the only the one
Always waking up to an empty house
Breakfast and lunch by myself
More like a homeless but with a shelter
In what part of "Ohana" do you mean
There is no such thing I supposed
All that crap you are saying about blood on blood is only an empty talk
*****
You.
