A house once full of love-
A family portrait hangs on the wall-exuding joy and happiness-
tension fills the house-

Fights and chaos are only normal-
There is never a day without a shed of a tear-
Yet the picture stays the same-

It feels like there is no where to turn-
No where to express the sorrow that aches through your bones-
Yet the picture stays the same-full of joy-trapped within the happiness that once was

As time goes by life becomes more difficult-
It gets harder to survive the average day-
Yet even though the picture stays the same-
the family portrayed is broken-
