family lies

untie our blood

hard to believe

the people you looked up to

are lying

burning off my roots

they will collect the ashes

I don't feel safe here

accepting

they point fingers

I am wrong

they are right

every time I comeback

nothing has changed

they look the same

I misplaced my trust

they laugh when I fall

I brainwash myself with the good memories

we can't go back to the time

pulling out the knives

they cut me deeper and leave me bleeding

let me bleed out

I don't want the blood of hypocrites
The clouds are somber

-Your hair smells like wildflowers-

The wind is furious

-You dance like a wild Lakota-

The storm has started

-You grab my hand and smile-

Thunder strikes

-You offer me shelter from the rain-

Lightning sears and sizzles*

-I follow and soon forget my pain-

— The End —
