The closest relations leave the deepest scars

When I say who are 'close ones'?
Of course the people who are in our long runs.
Be it parent or sibling or someone close,
They’re the ones who stay when it matters most.
But what if they become the reason for you to cry?
It's just not every tear is seen falling from the eye.
Father's bond is full of protection and completely warm,
What if he becomes the reason harm and storm?
Grandparents, uncles, aunts—symbols of care,
But what if their words leave you in despair?
Cousin reunions—moments we boast,
But what if they treat you like a rival, not close?
Friends' betrayal is another side of the glass,
But what if they make the person feel embarassed in the whole class.
You never know who goes through what,
The biggest smiles hide their feelings a lot.
Everyone don't get the same love, the same motivation, the same affection,
Stay blessed if you don't know the other side of this connection.
The biggest scars come from the closest relations is indeed true ,
But it comes from experiences known to only few.
And if you’ve never known this kind of pain,
Be thankful—you’ve been spared that rain.
Because you never know how someone survives each day,
With a thousand reasons to just walk away.
