Like a Family

Why can't we just act like a family

Instead of all this backstabbing and badmouthing

All these lies and pretend

Why can't you just stop arguing and fighting

For even just a day

Why do I have to hear everything

All the complaints

All the vented feelings

All this hate

Do you realize what this is doing to me

It is tearing me up inside

All this pressure and drama

It all comes down on me

You do not even realize that

You just see what is going on with each other

You do not even notice my life

Yes you realize I am here

But you do not care about my feelings

About how all this affects me

I am not the same person

Like I once was

You do not even realize that

I have changed

In some not so good ways

But you do not even care

When can we get back to how things used to be

I know they will never be exactly the same

But they can be closer than now

I just wish for how you used to act

When you were not constantly at each other's throats

When you actually cared about each other

And me

I just wish

We could act

Like a family
