Pictures of the Past

This is about my family

Lately things have seemed to be all confusing

They seem unreal

I'm looking at the black& white pictures of when we were little

We were all little& innocent

We use to fight for hours but 2 minutes later we would make up& we'd be driving our parents crazy

Who would've thought that one day all that would change

Now it seems that were rivals& strangers

Sometimes we walk past each other& don't even mention a hello

We use to be inseparable like Pb&j

But now we just can't seem to be together in one room

Just when we all started to get along all that happiness got ruined in one minute

Our anger took control over our hearts

Its like a war that never seems to end

I never thought i'd have to choose sides to be with my family

If you don't choose your alone

How can it be fixed?

How can we go back to being one family?

I know looking at these pictures isn't gonna help solve anything

I know i have to look at who we are now

But i like to escape the horrible truth for a while& look at who we used to be

It doesn't rhyme...

poems dont always have to rhyme, non rhyming poems are just as good as the rhyming ones. I know how you feel family conflicts are horrible. You did an amazing job on this poem

poems don't have to rhyme - in fact I often prefer when they don't - this is a great example - I think it would take away from the power of the piece - which is strong and heartfelt - great write - family conflicts can be troublesome!
