She had to cut off family,
simply to keep her sanity.
They judged her hard, but that’s okay,
they could not understand her ways.
She tried her best to just fit in,
but felt that she could never win.
When she belonged, they made it wrong,
and felt these actions made them strong.
She had to cut off family,
to spare herself from agony.
She used to think they were complete,
until their hearts turned to concrete.
She thought reunions were quite nice,
they came to visit once or twice.
Soon came to see, it was intrigue,
that brought them there, carrying deceit.
She had to cut off family,
to make her life skip happily.
Forming her own, built a new home,
real love that was not made of foam.
She learned to decipher their clues,
to teach her kids how to be true.
Show them to try, no hidden lies,
so they could love from deep inside.
She had to cut off fantasy
to make room for reality.
A peaceful life, a new design
with a full love that feels divine.
