I got it from my mother- the day she said to counselor-- "No. I am not signing this. I do not think that this is HER." I got it from my father too... I watched him every day. I made his coffee, polished shoes as he worked his life away. I got if from my sister, sad, mascara runs creating bags, "Beauty is what you should seek." appearances dispelling bleek. And my brother, Hippy-love, acceptance in a drug-filled shrug. "You are fine just as you are! already, you, are distant star." Another brother, fine in suit, methinks, escape of institute White sheep of the family "don't follow them--follow me." Finally now, my sister, tense, the one who thought my thoughts intense. "To hell with them and recompense not one of them spoke any sense..." And finally now there is but me the baby of the family-- I will not go where others went no follow path of ease intent and even be it rocky road I claim the wilderness- my own. *Inspired by a thread in FAMILY DISCUSSION, posted by the the divine Poet DeVine* [This message has been edited by serenity (edited 04-14-2001).] |

Go make your own mistakes not the mistakes of others. I like the family, but they all seem to have their own baggage. |
