Family Dynamics

Every thing seems

to be changing

around me

And i’m not

sure i’ll be

able to keep up

You lose old

friends and

gain new ones

Family dynamics

are changing

every day

Gay cousins are

so harshly and

swiftly disowned

Family members

stop talking because

of who others are dating

Why must every

body fight about

another’s choices

You don’t have

to live with their

choices or mistakes

So just leave

them be to live

as they please
