Poem -

Ripped apart.

Ever had ย something tear your whole family apart ?
ย I have and it was terrible to watch,
ย sometimes youโ€™re ย lucky and they might stay,
Other times you might want to run away,

How can it be that important you might say?
well itโ€™s not I hope you realize that one day, ย 
you took everything from me not knowingly,

Even though the drugs are illegal,
you crushed them up and shot them up as much as you can,
ย itโ€™s sad when you find needles in your drawers ,
but even sadder when you walk out those doorsย 

ย I try to tell myself the past is the past,
ย but I know Iโ€™m lying and yet I try to make it last,
I tell you I love you as much as I can,
because I never know when I can hear your voice again,

As I read your letters I have to thank you,
you made my life harder,
but yet Iโ€™m stronger,
thank you for my aunts,sisters,and my father

This is raw, powerful poetry, Kristen.
It must have been gut-wrenching to dredge up those poisonous, woebegone feelings and put pen to paper (or fingers to a keyboard, as the case were).
But sometimes writing these things down in some tangible form--a form like poetry, for example--where they can be revisited over and over again is like a purging of the soul.
It helps to get 'em outta your head.
