What is family?

What does it mean to be family? Is it when a family member or a family is going through a hard time and then the family pulls together? After the family jumps over the hurdle, they resume to their individual secluded private lives. At first, growing up, the child needs its family to survive but when it reaches the teenage years, the teenager doesn't need its family that much. It seems that most teenagers pull away from their families but when they need help, encouragement, or when they are in some any trouble, they run back to the comfortin arms of their family. Why? What's the attitude behind the face? Are there too many rules? The parents are too protective or don't trust them? How is it that some families slowly break apart? Don't the parents vow or think or say that they will never end up like that kind of person or like their parents, but they do with out realizing it? It's sad when families fall apart, but the questions are, how did it come to that point? What started the earthquake to destroy the relationship of the family? What lead it? Why and how does it happen? It's amazing what one accident whether good or bad, one fact whether good or bad, one word whether good or bad, or missing pieces or details about a person in the family whether good or bad, can do the rest of the family.

Poems

Writing-
Pen, paper
Ink, smears
Ideas, thoughts
Time, rhyme
Details, colors
Imagination, dreams
Pictures painting
Sunrises, sunsets
Stars, moon, clouds, wind
Trees, animals, nature mix
My story, mine to tell
Your eyes to see, your mind to imagine
Let the story take us there
Eyes drooping, close your eyes
Wake, up, where was I?
Was it all a dream?
Back to the story and you’ll see,
That writing has its own mystery.

Difference
We’re all unique.
We’re not the same.
Open up your eyes,
And you’ll be amazed.
Look around,
And what do you see?
I’m not like you,
And you’re not like me.
Breath in,
Breath out,
We do some of the same things.
We eat, sleep, talk, walk, laugh, and shout, and so on.
But we think and do things differently.
We have different agendas, different lives,
And,
Have different talents that lie inside of us.
Don’t hide yourself in the crowd,
But,
Be bold and step out.

It's Okay
“Soul shattered
Heart confused,
Curses hurting,
Hatred rising,
Mind exploding,
Emptiness occurs,
Melancholy takes over,
It’s okay.

Tears dropping,
Eyes hurting,
Nose sniffing,
Hugs all around,
Kisses being given,
Reassuring words,
It’s okay.

Trying to so hard to fight within,
Just to find the truth behind the pain.
Trying to keep everything together,
But things keep falling out of place.
So much going on,
It put pressure on the soul, heart and mind.
It brings them down into hatred.
Just so you, know,
I am with, you.
I’ll take the load,
And you’ll, be set free.
But the catch is,
You, have to,
Give it to Me.
In return,
Since the day I made you,
Is the love that I’ve been giving, you.”
