Family is defined by feelings
not just those of love.
A need stirs up inside
sent down from above.
The yearning to help, to comfort
to care for those in your family.
To be sure they will survive
And receive whatever they need.
Definitions, outsiders, nay-sayers,
whomever they may be
so not let them crush
your dreams of what you believe.

"Up" has the most definitions in the dictionary.
"Down" however runs secondary.
I'm tired of being defined
By the jagged lines
That line my eyes
I'm tired of being based
On blackened hair
That hides my face
I'm tired of people scanning arms
Searching for bloody marks
That are long gone
I'm tired of people standing there
Waiting for the knife
To reappear
Under the blackened spell of dawn
Gaze upon what I've become
Through the sunlight that lights my arms
You can clearly see these whitened scars
I am a liar. I act tough. I act like I don’t care.
But in reality, I suffer from every glass-eyed glare.
I am a lost cause. I act like I have promise.
But I still run for cover because my soul is an abyss.
I am a monster. I act like I am harmless.
But in reality, I’m a hysterical mess.
