Pictures old and faded Smiles that are often faked The flash, the outfits The imaginary  happiness A portrait of longing Stereotypical family portrait hung up in the foyer showing family love respect and pride only wishes, what they want to portray on family portrait day behind locked doors its another story daughter has "potential" father's dissappointed thats all shes afraid of his dissapointment Her mother barely there in the basement making jewelry or whatever it is she does pushing her daughter slowly away the emotional, physical, trusting rift grows day by day The daughter feels alone but can't tell anyone her friends all love her but shes deep in her mind crying silently why, why, why The family she wishes for is up in the foyer The family of smiling faces, loving glances hanging up in a frame in the foyer
