FAM ILY


Family

You mean the FAM I don't see

The ILY's that don't reach me

The ones constantly doing everything in secrecy

People who pretend to care halfheartedly

Family

Or should I say fami-lie

They tell you try your best

But only acknowledge your worst

Double standards

Doing better than you

And your hating on me

Rather being proud

Wow what a family

So broken

Discombobulated

Unattached

Loose string

Pull it hard

It all tears

Ripped to shreds

It is no more

That fragile family

Hit the floor

Shattered like glass

Into a million pieces

Like a puzzle

Can you put it back together
