By, Jess Dickson
Family is forever
Blood is thicker than water
I’ve heard these things said
But nothing is forever and blood means pain
I bleed upon the hands of my father
Shed tears on the feet of my mother
There is nothing sacred in this place
Family is love
Love is eternal
Someone once told me
And I laughed until I cried
I hide in the corners of my room
Pray for the rising of the sun, terrified of the moon’s companions
There is no peace to be found here
Family is a circle
A circle never ends
I read this somewhere
So I took out my pencil and began to draw
Within my circle I sketched the figures of those I loved
At the top, in my teenage ink
Family
