To Family
Someone asked me who I was a year ago
I said a happy, nice girl.
Someone asked me who I am today
I said a depressed, distant girl.
Someone asked me why that is
I said it was because my family broke.
I had an aunt, who was practically my mom
I had two cousins, who were practically my siblings.
There was a soccer rivalry between us
And one day their team loss.
My mom and siblings put on an attitude
And now it’s been a year since we’ve talked.
Family has always been praised in my life
As the number one thing to put before anything else.
If a soccer game teared my family apart
Then how am I supposed to think anything can actually last.
For that reason I trust less
I love less, I feel less.
For that reason, I am not the same person
And I never will be.
