IdeaFamily

I know now 
what family means 
it is not 
the relationship born 
but rather chosen 
it’s all wrong 
this silly idea
that we’ve got 
to tolerate others 
to pretend to 
make believe affection
family is who
you choose a
family did coddle 
teach and show 
but the moment
that you started 
deciding anything you
began to choose 
whom over what 
this idea family 
meant to you
