Family Struggles

When you have a family everyone is suppose to love each other,
When you have a family everyone is suppose to get along and work together,
There are times of trouble,
So right now i feel like i am trapped inside bubble,
I cant move,
i am stuck,
because people cant get along,
i thought all of us are suppose to belong.

I don't understand why people can't just let things go,
Instead everything just blows,
People say its going to be OK,
I say no it ain't Jose,
For it shall not be,
All because of thee,
The problem can not be fix,
Unless you let it be.

I feel like I'm losing a part of me,
All because of thee,
I am sending a prayer to you lord,
Please help my family's problems,
So they will all be over,
I am asking you from my heart,
So i don't lose my part.

So please God let us all just get along,
So we all feel like we belong.

My family got into this big fight and i tried not to get into it. My sister got kicked out and i dont want to lose her or anyone else. I didnt know what to do in this situation so i just sat down at my computer and just started typing my thoughts and it all come together and it became a poem. One of the best pieces i have ever written in my life.

People just don't realize how much you need your family. Life is to short to be at each others throats. Very nice poem, it makes me think about how much I should appreciate my family.
