Family
They have tried to rid themselves of me
They have slandered my good name
Their hateful fingers drip with blood
As they crucify me in their shame.
I used to run to them when i needed help
Thats just what family is supposed to do
Then they would strike their bargains, and
make their deals
And leave me a stack of IOU's.
They planned events and left me out
And i would learn of it as days passed
Then people would think i didnt attend on
purpose
Though i was never asked.
These are people who were supposed to love
me
And always have my back
The same blood trickles through my veins
Maybe there is some gene I seem to lack.
The loneliness used to overcome me
Some days I wanted to end it all
But i refused to let them beat me down
And the satisfaction to watch me fall.
There is a lesson that i learned the hard way
Not to put my trust in any man
And just because they are labelled as family
Doesnt mean the wont hurt you when they
can.
So now i enjoy my life of solitude
And i answer only to God above
I know he will have my back forever
Surrounded by his never ending love..
