Mom stop shouting
Your words cut deeper than my knife
Too many scars cover me
Relentlessly destroying my self image
Dad stop hitting
Bruises blotch my skin like a painted canvas
Each night a flood of tears pour
Crying out the pain not seen by any
Brother keep living
I have read the crumpled notes next to your bed
Forget the harsh words of mom
Fight through the pain dad inflicts
You are almost able to leave
Live for the sake of me
Sister keep seeking
The men you stay around are trouble
Drugs and sex are the only things belived to releive the pain
Please reconsider this path of early death
Find the man who treats you as the woman I knew
I beg of all of you
This shall be my final plea
Change the saddening ways I witnessed daily
Stop these thoughts, pleasures, and foreboding futures
I pray each of you find the light
Light filled with dreams and hope
Lastly
I forgive you mom for every cruel word you spoke
For I love you
I forgive you dad for the pain inflicted upon us
For I love you
I forgive you brother for the times you tried to take your life
For I love you
I forgive you sister for your sinful ways of coping
For I love you
Bye
