The True Meaning of Family

There is a saying that states simply:
“You don't choose your own family,”
And this is very true, but only if,
If only that is your point of view.

There are those who believe,
Blood is one thing you don't leave,
You stay with them no matter the reason,
Season after season after season.

Nothing to do with ties that scatter,
With ties of blood that don't matter,
Ties of blood and truce can break,
Seeing “families” shatter makes me ache.

Believing that blood is family,
Is not my way, quite simply.
I believe that family comes from,
The heart where blood beats from.

Friends don't ignore when you're down,
They'll refuse to let you drown.
Possible to find family in blood, but I think,
That it's easier to love those around me.

Ugh, it's evil... I just don't understand the way they think sometimes. Their logic is so screwed up when it comes to certain things, and it irritates me. Oh well, I'll get over it... Or I'll just stop talking to them. Whichever comes first lol.

Wow, Neben, please tell me you're at least active here? :/

Anyway, wow: I didn't know you wrote poetry. This was very true, and when I read it I found myself nodding along with it the entire time.

I decided to write some spur-of-the-moment poem for the contest because, come on! If you win without competition, that's no fun. See, now when you win, you'll feel like you're accomplishing something.

(P.S: I still don't know how to play that game that Lexi mentioned. What was it called again?)

[neb92]

Snaps? I don't know, I ignored you because ya'll were ignoring me xD

Oh, and I am active here. I've just been kind of busy this week, with school and all, unfortunately.

Oh, and thanks ^.^ But YOU still have a chance to win Shan. You're not allowed to put yourself down *wags fingers in Shan's face* SHAME ON YOU! xD Oh, and is that yours? *points to avvie* I haven't seen pics of your sugar glider yet.
