The Tangled Spider Web That Grows Whilst Panning For Gold

In one short conversation:

First lie- you paid for the grandparent's funeral. No, it was already paid by them in advance with their money thru someone else.

Second lie-you know she didn't like our father; no, I despised your father. The father abused me, because he knew about the real father.

Third lie-It was all about the poisoned

Dysfunctional Family

The wind whipped the tree
Contained hive of bees   
Resiliency unfolded
Inside hollow heart
Lessons learned an art
In the crushed heart, they're molded  

Hunger and pain reigned
Relationships strained
A child had to take the lead
To meet their desires
While inside hope fires
Became successful indeed

ONE DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY

The function of our family tree is to keep us safe and cool and warm…
to offer us a comfortable place to rest and to give us shelter from the storm.

But when I gaze out on our world…it’s bittersweet what I see…
I see one beautiful planet Earth inhabited by one dysfunctional family.

Our dysfunction is how we’ve

Quietly Dysfunctional

Mother did not bake apple pies,
but she drank strong cider,
which baked her brains.

Dad had a sharp tongue,
he picked his teeth
with its forked tip.

We were a one child family,
there was a miscarriage.
I recall we butchered the stork.

Mother roasted it,
for us all

that Christmas.

Loving and fighting
Accusing, denying
I can't imagine 
A world with you gone
    
    The joy and the chaos
The demons we're made of
I'd be so lost
If you left me alone

      Laughing and crying
Emotions are dying
I can't pinpoint
Just where we went wrong

    The moodswings

Mommy

Mommy still goes coochy coochy coo
Midnight's are for sipping warm milk
Simmered to perfection like I like
And being tucked in tight is so comfy cozy

Under the covers munching baked cookies
Leaving the crumbs to their own devices
Causing mischief as they might
With only a flashlight for our protection

Mommy tells me bedtime stories
About when I was only thirty five
Playing all

Dysfunctional Family

Life isnt fair
And it starts at home
When you're the responsible one
Even if you weren't there
You get exploited and used
Yet still it's not enough
Whatever the issue
It was because of you
If only you would get your act together
That would solve all of our problems
You were a mistake
I wish you weren't born instead
Funny how the world praises me

Her Fears

He put a ring on her finger
Like he would always love her
Filled her heart with promises
Assurances that he was hers

He put a lie in her dreams
Filled her with a loss of self-esteem
Feeling like she’d been betrayed
Never sure that she was safe

He put a hand to her face
Left a bruise that was blue and purple
Colors to

Words Left Unsaid

I was happy in a dysfunctional relationship
Never wanted to leave this man
Who put me down and made me feel
Like I was just a little crazy
Or maybe – a lot crazy

We had something special even though it hurt
The way we tortured one another with love
That should have been faithful and true
But was really adulterous and shrewd

A Dysfunctional Fur Ball

Born with an inner compulsion,
She will never be running free,
For she must be held away from dogs,
Lest she bite one on foot or knee.

Behind open blinds she barks at passing friends,
Yearning only to be liked for herself,
Then lies her fuzzy head upon her pillow,
Bewildered, depressed, on a canine shelf.

When love pets her belly, she kisses,
Kisses

Dysfunctional

They will always envy for what you have finally found.
They will always forget whether you've been around.
The one who ever truly has always loved you, is you.
Though the only truth I know, is you all had once loved me, too.

Dysfunctional Family

What a family to do dysfunctional too,
The father not there nothing’s new,
 The mother plays both roles as things unfold, 
The oldest daughter get pregnant,
By some man unknown,
She cries for help, which no one hears,
She believes that no one really cares,
Dysfunction everywhere,
Is what she hears,
Help, help with great big tears,
No one near which do appears,
Fear,

Dysfunctional Inner Peace

The scorpions creeping out from words slowly, acutely framing
where judgement claims the higher position unconditionally 
lone vulture hanging over its unsuspecting prey ready to pounce 
once so blind ambitions reverberates back as unqualified honours least deserved 

Pompous narcissistic elements with nonsensical fruitless talent 
held within egotism where fools of choice becomes one’s ability

Dysfunctional

Duty bound by family ties we feel a weighted anchor
Yearning freedom as we’d like it to be
Sinking into a catch 22 every time
Frustrations get the better of us all
Until we break and then make up
Nothing seems to stop the cycle
Consuming time we can’t get back
Trying to fix what we think we must
Irrational though it seems
