You Title It

I want to express just how I feel
But I don't want to depress others 
though these feelings are real

My poems usually uplift and bring hope
But right now I feel bad
and near the end of my rope

Others I can help and bring them peace
But my family won't listen 
and the chaos will not cease

Why is it that mistakes are so strong
that family can't let go
and they hold them so long

We forgive our friends and excuse an acquaintance
But when it comes to family
we treat them like satan

This is no way to live
This is a way of death
Why is it so hard for family to forgive
