Another Poem

The Illusion

By: Heaven Blalock

There was once a little girl who loved her family

and happy was all she wanted to be.

But one day, one dreadful day, she realized happy wasn't going to be easy

And a family's what they weren't.

They didn't eat at the dinner table like she wished.

They didn't watch movies together.

The parents didn't kiss nor cuddle.

They weren't a family and she wasn't happy.

They would all be in different areas in the house

But not matter where you stood you would always hear the arguing of the parents.

She had wished many times for the yelling to stop.

For them to have just one happy family moment.

But then the day came and she realized that wasn't meant to be.

Her father moved out, her mouth drank and cried and her brothers just ignored it.

That night is when is really set in.

They would never be the family she dreamt up.

They would always be an illusion.

And she would always be sad.

I would love it if you would tell me your opinions in the comments. Have a good day. I have more poems and but don't know if I should post.
