Alone

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.
