A Family

What a concept a family is,

Who are they and what do they do?

What are their motives?

And how do they involve you?

 

Is it a game that is meant to attack the soul?

Is it meant to put you to shame until you are dead and old?

 

is it supposed to feel like there is no light?

Am I supposed to be this deep in the dark?

Is there a certain life threatening mission

On which I must embark?

 

How much fear am I supposed to have?

Should I stay coiled up on the ground?

Crying and shaking

All around,

 

The tears won’t stop,

Even with no emotion on my face,

I want to go somewhere else,

A different place,

 

Death is my desire,

I want it to end in fear, pain, and fire,

This is how I feel,

I can’t make it any more fake or real,

 

I don’t want any kisses or hugs,

All I keep getting is betrayal,

Sometimes it slides off like rain,

But it always hurts like hail,

 

This darkness that my mind and heart

Forever share

Is a sentence of death

That ends in darkness and despair
