Stuck In A Hurricane

I love my family to death.. but I need help taking care of it..

 

Stuck In A Hurricane

Storming out of the grocery store

Standing out in the cold rain

Looking up in the dark sky

Listening to my parents argue

About something stupid

I’m sick and I have an ear ache

I finally grab my sisters hand

We will just do this without them

And went back into the store

My sister turns to look at me and says

“I’m glad you’re here, I don’t know what I would have done”..

She is older than me, my big sister..

Why am I stuck taking care of this family?

How can you run and hide when it gets hard?

My heart melted when she looked so helpless

This is the reason I can’t leave

They will fall apart without me here..

Then my sisters tell me that they are

Leaving for California on Friday for 3 days..

Its Thanksgiving weekend,

YOU should be here with US

Your family, not your boyfriend’s

I haven’t seen my parents fight like that in awhile..

It broke my heart when my dad says “I hate the holiday’s”

Its not suppose to be like this..

If the rest of my family would just corporate

It wouldn’t be so hard

I got my own s**t to worry about

All your doing is adding more s**t to my plate..

And our parents.. They try so hard..

I need help.. I cant do it alone..

This is my whole world…

And its breaking into pieces…

I’m stuck in a hurricane..

It will never end..

this is sad and you portray it well. My small bit of advice I will send via private message.

the poem though was really good. Frustration yet again. you are getting good at that.

All hurricanes have an eye in the middle. A center of peace in calm in the middle of the storm. You are right, the holidays should be a happy time with ALL of the family...but when it seems like you cant escape, just find the center. Find that one thought or place or thing that will make you smile and you will be able to get through it.

Im here for you..
