a broken bond

All my life i wonder how
A family can become so distant
A constant competition of whose better or nothing
Throwing my name into the ground why they laugh
Pointing out every detail to see me cry
Always on my back for my lack of style
Always my skin this my weight this
Hating my presences they look upon with envy
Behind my back making false accusations
The once tree so strong but broken by ache and past damage
Searching for a way to undo a wicked past and tainted memories
Observing they're every move I watch with caution
As the snakes hang right from my trees
In blind sight they just creep on by smiling
Just ready to bite  i can see they intentions
So today I'll keep my head high
My immediate family and friends close
With my confidence up high who needs family
I have more than I need in my little home and outer circle
