Blood

Some people say that you’re not family if you’re not
“blood” related
But with today’s society what good does that do?
I say that family doesn’t depend on that red sticky substance that runs through you’re 
veins 
it’s what’s in you heart, how you feel inside
I only have one “real” brother, we share the same father
but the way I look at it I have two brothers and two sister
I would never trade any of them for the world,
even though they almost always get on my nerves
none of us “share” the same blood
but it doesn’t matter to any of us
all of this step-sister, step-brother, half-brother junk is just a bunch of bull-honkey
in my opinion all of my step-brother and sisters and MY family
