"Smile!"
"One big happy family!"
"Pretend you love each other!"
These cheery phrases
Repeated over and over
As family portraits are taken
They all sound harmless
Until you think about them
Think about what they mean
Raised in a Catholic family
Taught that lying is wrong
Yet you tell me
"Pretend you love each other!"
This family is not happy
This family is full of
Hate, pain and sorrow
Yet here we are
One big happy family
