LIGHT'S OUT

There was five of us. Many would think that siblings would act alike or think alike but that's the furthest from the truth with us. Sitting around the table staring at the rest of my siblings was like seeing ghost. It had been years since we sat and ate as a family. We didn't know really what to say to each other because each of us were so far away in our own worlds and away from our family. We all were hiding all the neglect, hurt, pain, and betrayal. Looking at my other brothers and sister I saw nothing but darkness and pain in their eyes. Scars running all over there body inside and out showing what kind of battles and wars they had been through. The lights in their eyes were simply out. And as my siblings stared back at me, I could tell that it wasn't just lights out for me, but it was lights out for everyone.
