Rj Moya Poem
Look dad, I know you didn’t mean to walk out the door.
Look dad, you would never leave your daughter.
Look dad, I’m so mad
Look dad, you broke my heart.
Look dad, I’m scared she will leave.
Look dad, I don’t trust people.
Look dad, you left.
Look dad, I’ll be a better daughter.
Look dad, come back.
Look dad, I miss your hugs.
Look dad, I miss your cooking.
Look dad, I grew up.
Look dad, I'm happy.
Look dad, I trust someone.
Look dad, I let someone in.
Look dad, I’m doing it without you.
Look dad, I don’t need you.

Rj Moya Poem
Someone above is holding your smile for you;
shoving these happy pills down your throat.
Don't cry; they tell you not to.
When the moon is between the puppet strings,
tears stain your cheeks.
Your sleeves are stained.
The will to give up gets thinner and thinner.
So do you.
Dad saw you and turned back around.
Mom gave you 400 pounds to carry on your back.
You struggled to carry.
Back is breaking.
Legs can't walk anymore.
Keep pushing, they would say.
Crawl, crawl to the nearest cliff.
Sit on the edge.
Cut the puppet strings; the weight falls with it.
Take a breath and close your eyes.
