Family

to dysfunction

In order for me to be apart of this family I have to accept the fact that I am always wrong even when I am right.

Even when they put they get mouthy with me I must take it in silence

When they make snide remarks I must smile

When they make digs into me I have to nod in agreement

When they laugh at my hard earned money I must give it freely

When they tell me I deserve to get aids and that the only woman I deserve is a w***e, I must not say anything back

When they tell me they hate me in one breath then in the next want hugs and kisses I must pretend that love is there.

I must break my back to make them happy

I must sacrifice my own well being for them

So what is the point?

If family only means misery then what continue?

Every holiday we pretend that everything is all right but we all know its not

It’s like one sick joke

A joke that no one laughs at

In order to be apart of this family I have to walk on my tippy toes

Then this family is not worth it to me

This family has giving me nothing but headaches

This family means nothing to me

Just a group of people put together by happenstance

I owe nothing to this family

I must walk away from this family and never look back

So that I can have a life of peace I must do away with my brother, my parents, and start a new.

I must be free

I must be free

I must be free
