Family

Family
Mommy Always screaming, never feel the love
Daddy is okay, till he gets mad enough
sister uses blackmail, why is she always mean
brother never comes home, too busy dealing
cousin is sneaky, and lies right to your face
me im a victim, yet i live everyday
brother is spoiled, he was much too bad
youngest brother is a devil but is a sweet lad
fighting and screaming, some days i can barely stand
hiding away in my make pretend land. 
family to me
love and war
too many damn slammed doors
