Family are people

who are supposed to be the one that knows you the most.

But most time,

they are the ones that know you the least.

They want your respect

but they won't give theirs.

Bunch of hypocrites

who always want to criticize you

for your mistakes.

There are things they say behind your back.

A family is a group that should be undivided,

but there are mini-groups of each other's favourites.

And there is a black sheep

they all don't want.

The family should be our refuge and source of succour

but why do some family only hurt you,

only if I could understand, 

It could have been better...

We are used to hearing and seeing how a family is the bedrock of society. We have heard how we even talk about the love, unity, support and the loyalty we feel towards each other but many people fail to talk about the hardships others face, even in a supposed family.

This poem is not to belittle the family but to highlight the struggles others face too. Some families have become a den of lions and they raise fine cubs too.
