Old Questions; Modern Times

What’s in a family?

Love and support,

A safe place to land when you fall,

Advice and guidance when needed,

Not my family

Where for art thou friends?

Close and available,

A member of your wedding party,

That shoulder you can always cry on,

Not my friends

What’s in a name?

Belief and faith,

A sense of self-worth,

Knowing who you are on the inside,

Not my name

Who am I?

Not seen or heard,

A person easily left behind,

Just another someone that you used to know,

Mistreated and broken,

Then tossed away and forgotten about the next day

Yep, that’s me and those are the questions I ask,

But more than all else I wonder why?

Not why me…?

But why can’t I find an answer…
