Happy Family

A Poem by Kitty

Family is supposed to love you,
To be your friend.
They're supposed to support you
Right to the end.

But that's not the case
In my not so humble abode.
The 'family connection' has begun to crumble,
Begun to slowly erode.

I've never felt like I was ever
Part of the family.
It was always about everyone else,
Never about me.

Family is supposed to listen
Without asking why.
They're not supposed to make you wish
Every day that you'll die.

A family is meant to be
Happy, loving and kind.
That's what it's supposed to be,
But that's not mine.
