Breaking free, to escape this room, is my whimsy
I tire of eyes of steel and words of fire keeping me at bay
To fasten me here under false pretenses only makes me laugh
And giving me false ideals to lead my thoughts astray can only last so long
Watch out, for i shall snap, and once that day comes, you best beware
Pacifist at heart i am, but like any rabid mammal i do have a bite, and bite i shall
As i scream my battle cry, a human you shan't hear, but a foul beast, twisted in both mind and matter
Ravenous, cannibalistic, I"m out for keeps so watch your fingers and watch your toes
"Let sleeping dogs lie" they say, which you cant, and won't, understand
You poke and prod at all my doings, my weakness, my strengths, my personal opinions
Yet when an unjust is done on to you you scream and yell and seemingly can't take it, for you are as weak as you claim me to be
You hoist your responsibilities upon others, and after thousands of of yes-es, you receive a no, that is when your true form of ugliness shows
"If you love someone, let them go." Is something that you don't believe
You smother and bother and won't let me sleep, but yet you rest all you want
Yes, I agree you deserve a break, raising an seemingly endless amount of kids, but what about me?
I am still a little one myself yet i feel as if I'm old for my body, having to make up for the years my brothers and sister don't act.
I love you, but I need to leave, I'm going to leave, just wait a few years
You, you are, without a doubt, the most infuriating person I have ever met
You smile and laugh but your a hypocrite that i simply cannot stand
I feel the urge to break and curse, to cause horrific pain whenever you open your mouth
Really, it's surprising their hasn't been a family intervention with the way you talk
Yes, I admit you do help us out, but you must remember we do the same for you
Within the year, I believe i shall have already taken a swing, but lets keep that between behind closed doors
Oh yes, how can i forget you, but it is rather easy, seeing as i try not to claim you
Seeing as I've made my point, i think it's time to move on
I love you, and i always shall, but you need to calm down
You shout and scold a little to harshly and make the little ones cry
You blow things out of proportion a little to often, but out of all of 'them' i can probably handle you the best
I will always be your little one, but you have to realize that i am growing older now
One day we will look back and perhaps laugh as we cry
Ah, my little ones, even if you aren't truly mine
I love you as if I had really birthed you and my feelings of love will always be there
I have raised you since you were both born, and it hurts now that one is gone, even if he does come to visit.
It will hurt when you grow older and start to act cold but one day you might realize that i can never stop loving you because you are both special to my heart
My feelings are pure and easy to understand so please never question them
The composition of a family isn't as easy as a recipe, no two parts love and one part discipline
There is no perfect family and there is no perfect person
What makes a family is the laughs and love shared between them
There will always be rocky times, times of sorrow, times that can't seem to get any worse but it all seems better when you have someone to say you love and who says they love you back, regardless of blood, color, gender, and religion
From all you have read don't just think the obvious, read the unwritten, what hasn't been said, realize i do love my family, but sometimes i just can't stand them.

Description:
This is a poem about my family obviously. Each little separate stanza is describing a person except the first which is sorta an intro and the last one which is sorta an 'outro' This is full of a lot of raw emotion and little thought to organization and wording so please excuse any rough spots, but i don't really think there were any, or many, or at least with the beat and rhythm of how i was reading.
