The Perfect Family


What is a perfect family?

Do they exist?

One who never fights - always listens

Accepts each others flaws.

 

Is it real?

Could it be?

Kids never fight,

Mom never yells.

 

Dark secrets and lies

Shoved under the rug.

 

Fake smiles

Plastered on their faces-

As they pose for

their annual Christmas card.

 

A perfect family

Happily unhappy.
