Poem
Hush mom said She told me to be quiet To not make a sound Cause daddy was sleeping And I didn't want to wake the beast. Because when the beast is awoken… It was like a tornado and a hurricane mashed into one Terrorizing the whole house making it shake like a earthquake Hush big brother said He told me to hush when he broke the vase that held the memory of our beloved grandmother "Don't worry " he said "everything will be ok" Yet at the end of the day I was the one that got beat black and blue for it And all he got was a stern talking too Where's the justice in that? Please tell me which part of that was ok? I guess i should have read between the lines Hush sister said She told me to be quiet when I saw her sneaking out She had the smile of devil that was planning on dying I begged and pled that she stayed She just looked into my eyes and said with the softest of voice “One day i'll understand and she'll be there to stop me” Then out the door she went. Sneaking off… Like a cat in the night with one last saying… I'll be back in a flash… which turned out to be a lie Now I stand over her grave I begged and pled I prayed and prayed for her not to walked out the door into The cold, dark and heartless night But no.. a bang and then a boom followed with a crash Here's her body…. Now six feet under Hush dad said He told me to stay quiet when he was in my room at night He whispered everything would be ok... That he was just showing me something new Yet at the end.... I was the one feeling blue… I played there covered in filth... disgusted with myself! I cried and cried and cried but did you care….. No! You didn't! What was that you told me at the end?! O yeah… You said…. “I was daddy’s good little girl.” You told me to hush about this.. That if I didn't hush…. You would make me hush…. Hush the voices said As I sat on the end of my bed crying to myself I thought about all the things that I didn't say I kept quiet because everyone told me to And now I am broken... A shell of a person The voices tell me everything will be ok And as I took my final breath..... Everything..... Was ok.... For I.... Was hushed.... For good
