People say all the time - "treasure your family they are part of what lead to your success . "

They never say the best part of the quote ... "but they can also lead to your downfall" .

My parents watch apathetic , ignorant as I'm being ostracized and beaten down by those 'younger' than me but they are flesh and blood and so society says I am exaggerating or being hypersensitive about what they do to me because it's correct to call me fat -

maybe I was being sensitive,
Or maybe things change
The harshness of my siblings brought a thicker beautifully tailored armour
Time has washed away my weakness and has taught me the perfect sword wielding techniques.
It has taught me that justice has many faces and tales may be twisted and that the righteous aren't always righteous and the evil think they're doing good
And that the acts I complete thinking they bring harmony can bring a cacophony of shrieks and screams of hypocrisy
But I grew with that.
I grew with a paradise where the sun did set
I learnt to build I fire for the cold and dark so that although the sun in my paradise may set the paradise itself is never lost .
Thank you for the family I have.
