Family

Family
Family is such a strange concept.?
I'm told to love them—?
even when they hurt me,?
even when they bring sadness into my life.
Why??
Why must I love the ones?
who brought me into this
?unpleasant world?
I hate being told to love them.
?And yet,
?I do.
Even when they hurt me,?
even when they make me cry—?
I still love them.?
And I hate that I do.
They could do?
the most despicable things,?
and still—
?I'd love them.
That’s the part I hate the most.
Family is such a strange thing.?
Because even though?
I hate to love them so much...
?I love loving them?
even more.
