When Family Turns On You

What to do when you're turned on
People don't trust you a family moves on
One mistake made out of anger
Then family treats you like a stranger

Heart broken by friends and now by family too
Don't give even glance as they walk pass you
The love is gone, maybe it was never there
When support can be found no where

Just keep your head up and move on
Forget the traitors, you're number one
Stay strong and put a smile on your face
Because if THEY take it, you lost the race

the up and down side of human relationships - it maybe be safer being a frog, maybe a treee or a rock - but then again there is enjoyment in the journey of finding ones place in life on that never ending quest and eventual fate .... thank you, chuck
