Poem -
Misplaced
Why am I here
when I was born there?
It doesn't make sense to me.
My parents decided.
I was notΒ confided.
I was too young to speak.
I am a little lost
as to where I belong,
but it'll cost me to say
they were wrong all along.
The opportunitiesΒ are brilliantΒ
they say all fake smiles,Β
we need to be resilientΒ
which got me all riled.
My father, he sits thereΒ
ghost ofΒ grandmere on his mind,
once black turned grey hair
she was one of a kind.
His big brother's dead
he couldn't goΒ over.
His job makes him tread
so carefully sober.
Why can't we go?
is the question I raise,
heads turn and say no
with a horrified gaze.

Hi SALLY!!....although I don't know the intricacies or dynamics of your particular family....I DO know that no matter how hard you try......they will ALWAYS be a BIG part of who you are.....even if you separate from themby thousands of miles.....they will still be there...in your decision making processes......the way you fold your laundry etc......simply because......you LOVE them......and there's NO changing that......just LOVE them.......and let your inner voice (intuition) do the rest!!.......I'm so sorry......I didn't realize I was rambling on this much!! (smiles).....can't help it!!....I think that FAMILY is one of the MOST important things in all of reality!!........cool write!!........LOVE & ROCKETS!!........T xo ?β΄β€
Thanks so much, Tony, your rambling is always welcome :)
I can see where you come from Mitsali. Having family separated by long distances can be painful. And A closed family even more so. But I think an important part of any familial unit is its ability to be there for one another. That is its greatest strength. And, even if they will not be there for you, they still care for you, and you do for them. So you are a family. I think it is a matter of perspective in the end. Thanks for A peek into your head.
