Misfit Family

I love my misfit family

I have an older sister who takes care of me

but often times she'll just up and leaves

I have another sister full of happiness and warm hugs

but often times she wonders off

I have my twin brother who is a smart as can be

but he never has time to play with me

I love my misfit family

Their scars and all

They fight their own battles

to which I'm no help at all

I wish I knew how to support them,

to let them know I'm there

But how could I support them

when they don't seem to care

My sisters see a helpless child

My brother off somewhere else,

unable to call for help

So I sit here and do my best to fill my role

slipping farther from who I really am

But I love my misfit family

and I would do anything for them
