  family

  

  By sydni, boca raton, FL

  What’s a family when you have some, But it feels like all you have is none? When they tell you they will always care, Sayin’ they have all this love to share, But in the end they will never be there. Surrounded by people, when all I feel is alone, Born into a selfish life, with...
