un-family
you may call yourself family
may think yourself an ally
but the truth is
you’ve never been anything
but the death of me
for you have shamed me
in the words you don’t say
in support of me
your blank stares when
I give a vulnerable share
the truth is
you are family in only name
if even that
and if I can un-friend people who lack
then I might do just that…
