Dysfunctional Holiday

Gather together all those you love. I'll stay at home with faith up above. You know in my absence where I stand. Healthy, honest, best interest~ nothing less I demand. Be happy, be merry, you'll weave more tales today. Talk bad about others, lie, it's your way. But, please, look in the mirror when it's all said and done. Is this the right battle for you to have won. Recalling fresh young faces of those oh, so dear. Being given this burden, your illness, I fear. I refuse to cave in, be like you 'cuz you won. Even though I failed to break the cycle, in them~it's just begun.
