family

the family
we are blessed with
following us
from cradle to grave
the family
we are cursed with
taking from us
all
that we are
making us
all
that we are
the family we choose
the family we turn to
when our family
of origin
turns
toxic
is blood
really that much thicker
than
friendship?
i find i much prefer
the family i made
to the family
that made me.

this is another page after a stressful visit from my sister.
can we just skip the rest of this year?
