Dedications All the sweet cards
and gifts you've received
and I barely got
a congratulations.
I'm cursed with a family
that tears me down
and never builds me up.
Some members are controlling
and always criticizing
every decision I make.
Others never show interest
and ignore me
at every gathering.
Christmas day was filled
with hurtful words
and pointless arguments.
And you had to be
a witness to it,
even more a victim of it.
That is where I draw the line;
I will not stand to
watch them cause you pain.
So I distance myself from them
and draw closer to you,
knowing you can steer me
towards true happiness.
