Family

family
a term in which i never understood
yet believed i did
so i lived
in denial
trying to hold onto a family
which was never true
breaking myself down
as i blamed myself for all the hard obstacles
which disengrated my confidence
i gave up
life became a waste
family
that term
which hurt me
was meant to be support
never truly getting it
destroyed it
i used to think
that it was a perfect thing
no fights
that belief destroyed me
it became to acceptance
is all i can say
the word no longer haunts me
for it is my strength as acceptance
the understanding
its not perfection
for that is a fraud
the belief of dread
that will be of no longer
the acceptance of such
will no longer haunt
but balance
family isnt perfect
but is support
be it of blood
or kindness
"family will always be family"
