Family
It is ever so precious
So why throw it away
Family was always there for you
It held out its hand and you never took it
Why
It was always there for you but you never appreciated it
Why
Do I have to help you define the word family
I obviously do because you never cared for it
Family isn’t something you have
It isn’t something you earn
Family is that love and support that is by your side
So why didn’t you do the same for it
Family is that extra push you need to keep going
So why were you not there to do the same
Family has given up on you because you never believed in it
You never trusted it
You never trusted the truth
The truth was staring at you in the face
It even smacked you
It even put bruises you couldn’t even see
So why go back to it
Why go back knowing it will happen again
Why go back knowing it will never change
You keep on running back to it
But why
Why keep running back to it
What did it ever do to you that you just HAVE to run back to it
You yell at us because you know that when the truth hits you
you know that next time we won’t protect you
We won’t protect the fact that you pushed us away
We won’t protect the fact that you never cared for us
You never wanted us
All you want is him
Never us
What did we ever do
What made you push us away
What made you think that pushing us away would make it better
We were there for you and all you did was push us away
Why
Family
It is ever so precious
So why throw it away
