The Love of Family

I am alone and afraid In a city street alley Not a physical alley But a mental one I can see nothing They Laughed at me They made fun of me I ran into this alley To escape their prejudice I got lost and could not find my way I needed someone to help me I found that someone Or so I thought She lied to me, And broke my heart Drove me deeper into this deep dark alley I sensed danger I was fearful That I might lose my way I realized That I was not lost I did have a guide away from the darkness My family who loved me and cared for me, All my life They found me lost in the darkness, Of my own pity and depression They guided me back to the light of reality It was then that I realized I should not lose myself in the darkness because of one lost love Not because I did not care but because I found there was more love for me than I ever imagined possible. The Love of Family.
