Happy: A poem for a sister

I tried to write a poem and called it "Happy"

Because that was what I felt

My mother gave me a cookie,

and my hunger problem had been dealt

A boy on the crossroad waved on me,

And my father hit me with a belt.

There was a huge violet mark on my thigh

I didn't know why he hit me

and I couldn't ask my father why

I went to our small kitchen,

and saw my mother frying a chicken

I told her that father hit me and I was on pain

and begged her to tell father that he shouldn't do it again,

I was sad because she didn't listen to my plea

Instead, she said that the chicken tasted like a sour tea

I went to the bathroom and saw my father kissing my crying sister,

My father saw me and hit me with my mother's pressure cooker,

I was bleeding so I went to my room

There, I saw my brother sleeping with another man

My brother saw me and I ran

As I ran, I hoped that this bad things would end soon

When I reached my sister's room,

I went inside and saw blades lying next to a spoon

I picked it up and checked the time, it was noon

I closed my eyes and slashed three deep cuts on my wrist

Suddenly, I was pissed

I was pissed of my father

I was pissed of my mother

I was pissed of my brother

But I felt sorry for my sister

Using my sister's purple pen,

I wrote this poem on a crumbled paper

For her to know that there is a time,

that all she have to do is use a dime

to buy a blade for her wrist

P.S: Try not to be pissed

It is sad.

See you on the world above here

Or maybe, you can stay strong and just drink a beer

Good luck my sister,

I love you forever

and I want you to be happy

I sticked the crumbled paper on her diary's first page

A diary she started on her early age

I want to give the poem directly to her,

but I doubt I can manage--
