Family Only Related

The people who you call family,
Are only people who you are related too.
There opposed to be the ones you can trust
When someone hurts you.
But they might be the ones 
Who hurt you instead.
And can't trust.
They might back stab you
In the back 
And Leave you broken.
They might be the ones who abused you 
Leaving you bleeding.
While they only made excuses
Why they did it.
Like that makes it right.
The monster in the world
Might be closer then 
You think.
They might be your family.
The ones who told 
You they love you.
Never loved you 
Only wanted something from you.
You can't trust anyone,
Not the ones you call family.
