Poetry

My family

Who do you spend the most time with?

Is who I spend the most time with

We’re thick as thieves

Especially me and my two older sisters

Growing up, we argued, and we still do, but our bond is unbreakable.

We get each other and connect and understand each other like no other.

Talking to them can be smooth sometimes and rocky, but I know they see every side of me.

Talking to them is clear, and it doesn’t make me not want to share parts of myself.

Also, sometimes with my friends, I don’t want to put all that is going on out there for them to judge.

There is the sense of always being safe and loved, and understood, which primarily makes me want to spend all of my time with my family.

We don’t turn our backs on each other; we try to build each other up in hopes we can all live a good life and make something of ourselves.

So if the world was to go into another lockdown and all I could do was spend time with my family.

I would be happy, and I would thrive, for together, we’re stronger, and my heart would be full of that unconditional love that could last a lifetime.
