A Family?

Five years ago, the pain began What prompted it, I don’t understand. Resentment and jealously, played a big part Tearing and breaking, many a heart. Hurt and confused, the family parted Not really knowing, why it started. Caught in the middle, needing some care Turning to those, whose love they’d share. No matter how hard, I try to get along Everything I do, ends up so wrong. Never being able, to ever satisfy I’m tired of trying, and living a lie. Maybe someday, together we’ll all be It would be great, being a family. For now we must take, things day by day Hoping hearts will mend, along the way.

Such as it is sometimes in families, I've found in life sometimes when dealing with family, a little absence makes the heart grow fonder, Sincerely, Moses
