My ruthless family 
Is a pointy twig. 
The weakest part 
Of the pointy twig 
Is-angry, 
Is-ignorant, 
Is-disrespectful, 
When I do something, 
Wrong... 
She snaps in every, 
Point of her, 
 
The breeze that follows, 
Her should lift me up, 
Helping. 
 
I am the leaf 
That is quickly 
Fading away 
Every day and night.
