Family Issues

befuddled by mud puddle conversation motivated to stay away from those in the throes of saving face at a sprinter's pace saving grace each time I grind with people who don't mind blindly trying to debase my name I end up sulking in the walk of shame families need to learn to move on be strong but for crying out loud, without a doubt, there shall be heartfelt apologies issued from both sides this bumpy ride might take a little swallowing of pride, many bona fide hugs with love you may go through a box or two of fresh tissues to properly address the issues we must stare defiantly into the eyes of resistance identify the roots of our miscues giving the boot to artificial rituals to ambitiously make transitions, stitch up wounds switch up moods shake up, move to a place where faces are soothed by smiles and laughter a fresh chapter an escape after disasters happen an island where we realize those who actually matter yes, addressing the crash without making the past our current address i write this piece in peace, for those who may be dueling with duress stressed by words or actions of those who you may regret not being able to completely love, respect, and/or caress ----------------------good love takes hard work ©2014 ~JSL PoetTreez Publishing

I really appreciate and enjoy this piece. I come from one of those broken families that love eachother despite the issues we suffer.

JSL ..Wonderful work with this piece. A lot of people don't get that it takes both sides to work through the issues. I know this well, and I also know that just one person trying does not work. Thanks for the share Take care friend, Jess ;)

Dear JS, This poem has a very important message. We never know when we will lose a family member and it's important to try and keep the peace. My sister and I had a falling out, but are trying to restore harmony. It benefits everyone in the family! Excellent write! Best wishes, Carolyn

Hello Mr Roboto, Nice to see you here. JSL<3 In the house:) <3.................:) So this is about family. I once believe blood is thicker than water. Well, it turns out that, water flows better than blood. And in some families bloods to thick no one can get through. Anyways, JSLamert, we moody people, will find a time to move on. A great and awesome poem. Thank you for this and the visit. luv~SKAT~
