idk if this rlly relates to the prompt lol

happy family

what does that even mean

when everyone is so keen

to leave and argue and fight

in plain sight

and i can’t grasp

why they do this to us

to their children,

their babies

their everything

secrets unfolded

truth beholden

tears

drop

drop

drop

so i will

break

and

break

until i cannot no more

and i will slam t...

the air is sickeningly sweet

the taste burns my tongue

the people overly joyous

smiles once represented content

now they’re a mask,

a facade

hiding what lurks beneath

the phrase

i love you

used to be given out with caution,

meaning

now the words slap me in the face

the birds tweet their gentle melody

harmonies washing over me

drowning

i’m drowning in their tune

still,

smiles

sharp simister smile...
