Family doesn’t always have to be blood

safe, supported, reassuring, exciting.
just few of many things my “friends” have made me feel.
growing up i’ve never been shown any of those,
even in school i hung around the wrong people for a long time.
my group now let me tell ya,
they are the ones who have taught me the family isn’t always blood.
the ones who’s showed me a home isn’t alway a roof a four walls,
the ones who have made me feel like a somebody in a world of nobody’s.
Now i know this may not be one of those poems that rhyme but id definitely like to make it an appreciation piece.
a thank you to the people who got me out of the pile of quick sand i was sinking in.
the ones who showed me morals and direction.
the ones who showed me what it feels like to be loved by someone so genuine and deeply
thank you
