Only, only, only, only.
Used to be the one and only.
Grew up an only child.
Was raised by my momma.
Dad wasn’t really around.
For awhile.
And we patched things over.
And I do have half siblings from it.
And as far as I know I’m the oldest.
When I was the only, I can’t lie it did feel lonely.
Just had my imagination to console me.
Dreaming of gaming with a sibling.
Dreaming of family that wasn’t broken.
But dreams are just that.
And this is reality.
I could wish all I want but it wouldn’t change a thing.
The best I can do is be ok with how things are and make the most of it.
For family though broken can still be loved.
So, I savour the opportunity to be involved as best I can.
It may not be how I imagined.
It may not be perfect.
But what family is?
What family doesn’t fight?
Lie?
Cheat?
Or Steal?
But with every negative there is positive.
So, what family doesn’t...
Help when it counts?
Support you when your going through ****?
Or Cheer you on?
So, even if you’re an only child or not.
So, even if you feel lonely.
Family will be there if you need them.
