Just One Thing.
All I want in this world.
The only thing I want.
I can't seem to have.
With a sister not talking to her father.
For what he did to her.
For taking away her one chance.
Her one chance at happiness.
She will be remembered as "Sadness".
With a father who is full of hate.
Hate that is going out on the ones closest to him.
With his fists he beats.
With her words he yells.
He hurts a lot of people who try to help.
He will be remembered as "Madness".
With a brother who doesn't care.
Doesn't care about anything.
Not about his job.
Not about his car.
And not about his family.
He will be remembered as "Careless".
With a mother who works all the time.
Night and day.
Day and night.
She never sees her family until day is gone.
And night is here.
Only to wake up and go back to work.
She will be remembered as "Workful".
And then there is me.
A girl trying to get by.
Without commenting suicide.
Even if try to put down the knife.
It always comes back.
Along with it's friend the lighter.
I will be remembered as "Painful".
And if you can't tell.
All I want is a normal family.
Not devorcesed parents.
Not a careless brother.
Not a sad sister.
Not a hateful father.
And not a workful mother.
I just want a family together.
A family who gets along.
Not a family who fights over the phone.
Not a family who hates one another for the deeds they did.
A family that loves.
That enjoys one another.
The only thing I want.
I can't seem to have.
With a sister not talking to her father.
For what he did to her.
For taking away her one chance.
Her one chance at happiness.
She will be remembered as "Sadness".
With a father who is full of hate.
Hate that is going out on the ones closest to him.
With his fists he beats.
With her words he yells.
He hurts a lot of people who try to help.
He will be remembered as "Madness".
With a brother who doesn't care.
Doesn't care about anything.

Not about his car.
And not about his family.
