Able and Cannot

They say, in the end, that family will always be there.
I have learned that this is a lie...
	If for Any reason you are NOT ABLE,
	Then FOREVER you cannot.
They say that family is unbreakable,
	If you ever need help, they're dependable.
		Family is valuable.
		Family is reliable.
They say that family is where you can be comfortable.
		Family Love is durable.
I have learned that Family Love is changeable.
		It can be debatable.
	If for Any reason you are NOT ABLE,
	THEN FOREVER YOU CANNOT.
They no longer consider you valuable.
Their forgiveness is unattainable.
Their Love was not unconditional.
Their Love was not unchangeable.
	Because I once was unable
		I became unforgivable.
			dispensable.
		punishable, forgettable.
And now because of Family
			It is completely un-fixable.
