I often feel alone
even though I 'm reminded
that I have family
that loves me
but sometimes
Family is just a mirror that
chooses to reflect every bad decision
you've ever made in your life
while hiding behind the glass
Sometimes, conversations are held
on one way streets, where sin only comes
in black and white, and the ones that love you
hold gavels between clenched fists
Sometimes, love looks like scorn
and hugs feel a lot like straight jackets that
leave bruises in the shape of hearts
and I-told-you-sos
So I'm alone, and a sinner
tell me something I didn't already know.
