Not Broken Open Family
Some say they from a broken family
I’m not but nowadays its broken anyway
punished when in trouble had to take responsibility
picked apart by my troubles stripped of masculinity
punishment not found when a parent ups and leaves
in all probability it took the confidence from me
labelled a cluts my fails they made me see
at 11 brother went to university
my sister moved out unhappy
so in my family unit I was on my only
funny as now my siblings disowned me
my parents are peoples they don’t want to see
I’m stuck at home reluctantly
one year over 33
let the bird fly free his nest his destiny
let him find his kids his lady
they label me lazy some say crazy
stuck here deservingly deserve living desertedly
as I’m not searching assertively,
I’m not from a broken family
just one that lives far openly
