Family
such a heavy word
yet it gets uttered
thoughtlessly
carelessly
for when
love
support
warmth
and belonging all fade
what’s left is you
wandering
in the crowd
of familiar faces
unseen
in their eyes
you’re barely there
an outsider inside a house
that never
felt like
home
to you
yet it gets uttered
thoughtlessly
carelessly
for when
love
support
warmth
and belonging all fade
what’s left is you
wandering
in the crowd
of familiar faces
unseen
in their eyes
you’re barely there
an outsider inside a house
that never
felt like
home
to you

there is more than one connected to me by blood that i don't see as family

i understand what you mean. that's why it isn't just about blood, but about the connections we truly feel.
