They say your friends are your chosen family
just a phrase we use to cover it all,
Because in the end, family is all
we’ve got.
All these connections are draining –
We claim forever but then we switch,
Push aside those who’ve had our backs,
Our good deeds don’t matter, sad.
We judge one another for sinning differently,
But nobody is perfect, someone needs to hear,
Broken hearts, we all hurt inside
And tend to memes online.
Bleed inside, call it poetry,
Life isn’t it?
Everything isn’t as it is
Everyone isn’t as they seem.
Under shells, all hiding what’s within
Indeed attached to what takes the pain away,
People come and go, I won’t sugar coat.
And in the end, Family is all we’ve got.
