The Cliche- Family


I know it is overused,

I know it is unoriginal,

But it is the only thing this life I cannot go without.

 

Family is my blood,

I cannot go without any,

Family is my companions,

I cannot go without a goodbye.

 

They are the good,

They are the bad.

 

To hope for the best,

They protect their kin.

To show they care,

They create the chaos.

 

The shenanigans I endure bring me joy.

The chaos I face brings me up a pace.

 

Without my family I would not be who I am today.

Without my family I would not be here today.

 

They are my companions,

They are my collaborates.

We stick together no matter how far.

And this is all I have to say.

 

I love my family for who they are.

I will never want them to change.
