Dysfunctional Family

What a family to do dysfunctional too,
The father not there nothing’s new,
 The mother plays both roles as things unfold, 
The oldest daughter get pregnant,
By some man unknown,
She cries for help, which no one hears,
She believes that no one really cares,
Dysfunction everywhere,
Is what she hears,
Help, help with great big tears,
No one near which do appears,
Fear, fear everywhere,
Can you really hear,
The cry which comes out,
A loud with pain, 
A beautiful child is born which is a claim, yet dysfunction remains,
Of a future which must be changed.

It's a dysfunctional family but I can see the love! Like, with most dysfunctional families. Interesting and enjoyed!
