Where I Come From

I come from a long line of sadness.
A long line of waiting,
Waiting for someone to understand,
But there's never anyone actually there.
I come from a long line of
Distrust and hate.
Even when the ones,
The people closest to you, break your heart, but
I'm always the one to mend the wound.
The line that goes on and on,
It never ends,
But bends and breaks
I come from
A long line of beauty.
Trying so hard
Pretending to be everyone I'm not.
A longer line of pain and tears.
Missing pieces to me,
To my family, my life
But this puzzle isn't a game.
The game everyone else plays.
It's harder, tougher, darker, painful.
But I come from the endless lines of loneliness.
I've lost more than family and friends,
I've lost myself along the way as well.
I come from a long line of emotion.
Everywhere and anywhere,
They bring me up and slam me down.
I come from a long line of change.
I could never get used to it,
It was always going back and forth.
A long, rugged line of
Fear and reality.
It's like a nightmare, but instead,
You're awake,
Wide awake.
I come from a long line of regret.
I've made mistakes.
I've done things I could never take back.
Haven't we all?
Not like me...
I'm not like the rest, but still,
I come from a long line of
love.
People who are really there for me.
What are these long, long lines?
They're sadness, love, anger, beauty, and regret.
Anything that makes me, me.
Nothing can compare to my family and friends.
That's where my trust, my heart, my love...
That's where I come from.
