Family members surround me
They smile and laugh and joke
They hug and kiss and love
I watch them with opened eyes
Only I see the knives on everyone's hand
Each one hugs one another, sliding the knife down their spine.
I shiver.
I move away from everyone.
My family.
I've never heard so much falseness before.
So much fake people
The people I have to call family.
Am I alone?
I stare at everyone and wish we could love freely,
With no hate
With no backstabbing
With no shit.
I feel like I'm on T.V
Someone give me a script.
I watch and frown
Am I alone?
Sisters laughing, but their eyes are dead.
Brothers grinning, but their smiles are dangerous.
Mother is smiling, but there's a glaze in her eyes.
Father is hugging, but his hugs are loose.
I can't be here.
I didn't sign up for this role.
They all look at me with disdain.
With disgust.
At least they all have something in common.
Their hatred for me.
