An Out Not In Law
In a Family
just there
realizing you're an outlaw
instead of the In-law
treated as if you are not at all welcomed
by some, not all
just going with the flow
you already know
for the big show
knowing that you need to go out the door
family gatherings
events and more
the higher one goes
the score is still low
not at all good enough
just because
no reason at all
where there's no love
there's some hate
arriving early or never too late
instead of the out-law
being an in-law
created measures
the deepest the farthest
shall gather a smile
walking the miles
the shoes become worn, now you are torn
a lot of grief
keeping the beliefs
the sun does shine
my soul is mine
strong shall survive
not fallen nor bend
Life is life
much love is sent
forgiven to some
not for all
the haters didn't win
still, standing tall
acceptance, not my fault
there's a place in thy heart
the fakeness is real
the kindness, not a steal
genuine love cannot be sealed.
The out-In-Law
is still the In-law
rather excepted or not
not their fault
neither love or hate, not in between
the fakeness waves of laughter already seen
nothing off thy plate
the relationship is in
not dying in the sins
a new life began.
Furthermore
even more, still here
my dear
non-fear
just keeping it REAL.
