Climb the highest mountain, punch the face of god

Some Things Mentioned

Some things I will mention for later reminiscence.

*JOHN*
I feel like we are no longer close,
Like we are strangers, or mere acquaintances.
Like we don't know each other as well as we once did.
I feel like distanced from you,
And this hurts.
I've been stabbed by knives before,
But I've never been stabbed emotionally, like this.
I'm hurting so bad.

*MOM*
I'm scared of how angry you get.
I don't know what I did in my life
To get you so spiteful of me.
I cannot help cure someone who doesn't see that
There is definitely a problem here.
With all that we know,
Our combined knowledge has helped us suffer.
But I will suffer more, for your sake.

*MICHELLE*
Why you must tell me things I care not to hear.
You tease me and ridicule me,
It's like we never grew from our
Troubled adolescence.
It's like we're always rivaling.
I cannot keep up with you and
Refuse to think of our life as some battleground.
I'm your sister, not an enemy.

*DAD*
I feel like we are better friends now.
I feel like we are better off this way but
In the middle of the night I awaken
To see an empty room, but in my dreams,
You still and always will live here.
Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night
And see you sitting there, watching TV.
It warms my heart but the realization melts me.

Some feelings.
