Diseases

a broken family

mother tapes my favorite magazine clips to the mirror

and so that I can see the beauty inside of me clearer

she gives me lunch three times a day to see if I will eat

and tells her baby she is all that makes her life complete

sister tends to wear big clothing that will never fit

the baggy sweater hides the scars where her skin was once split

they give her bottles wrapped with love but inside are the pills

the doctors say to ease the pain,your stomach you will fill

daddy tries to hide his tools for things we have been through

truth be told its daddy who is scared of living too

dreams of flying in the sky are what make him truly free

stepping from the ledge is all that he's able to see....
