Perfect Little Family

You tried to make 
Yourself a perfect family.
That would be the image 
You pictured in your mind.
Who fit in 
Your little box.
And be everything you want.
When I changed,
I was no longer 
Part of your little
Perfect family.
So you kicked me out.
Wanting nothing to do with me.
I wasn't a clone like 
You wanted.
You couldn't shape me
Into the person 
You wanted.
