Stay Together
my family is leaking like a broken pipe. I have the remnants of crazy glue stuck to my
hands because I'm trying to put them back together but they won't fit right.
I cannot put them out of sight because their always on my mind and whatever problems they
have ultimately become mine.
So I pour and I pour but the wounds never heal they only dry and than peel revealing the
truth behind what I was trying to seal.
I feel like my life is constantly on repeat. How do you stand firmly on your feet when
there so many demons to defeat?
To the outside world we are like the huxtables but do you know what it is like when all
the trust from a family is removed?
It burns like a slave being beat after being caught running away. We all want to escape
but family ties always tug us back grabbing us by our ankles and legs.
We are all afraid of the outcome, especially me. I wish I could vote my family to safety
like they do on TV.
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who cares, for each new part of us that separates I
shed a new batch of tears.
It may take years to rectify the pain that I can't even see and the stubborn hearts that I
can't even reach.
But it won't make me stop trying to be everyone's rock on this ever moving sea. I know
that I am only one person but I will wear this crazy glue like lotion until were solid
once again.
I will never give up hope of becoming how we should have been.
