One Bad One Good

sister, sister, one bad, one good
one sister does what she should

the other sister fixed on detroying those around her
with only lies and horrible stories to share

parents in denial they only see the bad in the good one
and what's done is done

the one brother sees all and is too in denial
the good one wishing she was not their chiild

the good one wants so bad to escape this evil mess
the family hating her less and less
because family feels she too should see and forget

now the bad one has two daughters of her own
and she see nothing wrong

daughter, daughter, one bad, one good
one daughter does what she should

the bad daughter living by the sword
and still to this day this family is not on one accord


i ask when does this cycle end
my conclusion is when a mother is a mother and not a FRIEND
