Blood Thicker than Water

Blood is thicker than water
At least that’s what they tell me
They all LIED
From what I can see
Family will be the first
To knock down your dreams
They’ll choose water over you
In a heartbeat
Especially when that water was supposed to be your friend
Someone looking to divide from within
They can only do it if allowed
Sad when your family is the crowd
To tear you down
More and more
Never thinking to help build
What you have in store
Oh they talk a good game
“We’re Family”
So quick to say
But they show you better than tell you
That in the grand scheme of things
You my friend mean
Nothing at all to them
Maybe someone they think they can pity
Not knowing you have more for them to envy
Or maybe that’s what it is
You are doing it too big
Slow down
And maybe
Just maybe
Your family
Will love you again
Friends are no better
Take advantage
In all types of weather
People thinking because you work hard
You have it all to give
But what about your household
They forget
You too have to live
Not their problem at all
You’re supposed to help them take care of their home
Drop all you have to do
And run to take care of them too
Child please
Your home is your first priority
Don’t be blinded and believe
They will be there when you need
Help because you want to and can
Don’t look for a returning hand
You’re get your heart crushed
And have nowhere to land
But all deeds comeback
They will need you again
And the people you least expect
Will be there when you need a hand
