#ohana - Hello Poetry

You can erase me from your memories. Not pick up the phone and dial those numbers. Talk and talk and say all the right words to the people who don’t really know. Those words never reach here. Do you get how I ask myself if I’m the one all wrong? If I’m apart of problem. It leaves me hating myself sometimes. You can’t hear the cries from where you are. And you’ll never know the nightmares living in my head trying to chase me down. I’m hurting deep inside. And all you do is stay away, dragging the pain a little further each day.

You Stay Away

You can erase me from your memories. Not pick up the phone and dial those numbers. Talk and talk and say all the right words to the people who don’t really know. Those words never reach here. Do you get how I ask myself if I’m the one all wrong? If I’m apart of problem. It leaves me hating myself sometimes. You can’t hear the cries from where you are. And you’ll never know the nightmares living in my head trying to chase me down. I’m hurting deep inside. And all you do is stay away, dragging the pain a little further each day.

Goodnight pumpkin, I luv you. L-U-V U. Dear mom, Nothing ****** me off more than misspelling the word Love. If you’re not willing to put two seconds into a text or even a letter to spell it correctly, then you need a ******* dictionary. The only time you looked into a dictionary was to find words big enough so they could fit through ears but not into my brain making it easier for lies to flow out of your mouth like it is second nature. The only truth that ever spit out of your mouth like lemon juice, was when you told us, not all lives have happy endings. But when you were still here, and I was only eight, you let me watch disney movies so I could learn my own fate. One of the movies taught me that if I said Ohana means family, that you’d respond with, family means no one gets left behind, or forgotten But you left your kids to pursue Your happiness, Now every time you leave to Pennsylvania another memory of us flies away from the airport you call a body just like the planes you get on, Your lies create a tornado that destroys everything in it’s path, and my life is a flat ground so this spiral of emotions won’t stop until you do. You circled your yin-yang arms around me for the first time in the hospital, that was the same night people in white coats handed you a certificate with my name written on it, Now anytime my name is brought up in a subject you pull your hoodie over your head as a sign of embarrassment. I want you to feel the pain you have been giving me for the last 2 years when you hear this poem. I want you to realize that you’re the reason my feelings are scribbled down to make a mess out on paper. Every night I make a new river with my tears and when I realize you are lying to me, it makes waves of depression and those waves, are created by earthquakes of anger. These waves are strong enough to break through any hoover dam made up of antidepressants and pills that will only make me what you want me to be which is “normal”? If you tell someone you love them at least have the audacity to mean it. Be a the definition of a mom and care about us and our feelings, and not just your own. Mom, I-L-O-V-E-Y-O-U Ohana means Family, but no one said family would last forever. But you always will last forever, in my heart

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.
