Family Love.

I watch you walk this lonely road
And wonder when you'll cease.
You hold onto a bulk of emotion
To which you won't release.
I tried and tried time and again
To advise you of your choice.
But every time I try to speak
You don't want to hear my voice.
You say I've gone religious
And you don't know me anymore.
But I'm still the same girl you knew
I just walked through another door.
I grew tired of the constant fight
To live in full content.
I see you in the very same battle
Just to an extreme extent.
I found my happy place in life
And I want for you to find yours.
I know you probably don't want my help
I just worry about the world's allure.
I see you traveling down a path
Of everlasting night.
And I refuse to give up on you
If I can help you find your light.
You are such a beautiful person
Even if you don't believe
I just wish you'd try to remove yourself
From those who may deceive.
Those people won't be there for you
If you decide to change
They'll encourage you to keep your lifestyle
As if there is no shame.
And truth be told, we should feel wrong
For things that we have done
For in moments of darkness we saw some light
And yet decided to shun.
I don't want you to do the same
For fear of something new
For new can be good, despite what you say
So just do what you have to do
You have to give up what you know
For what is possible
For that's the only way to grow
And it's more than feasible.
I promised you I'd be there.
Why don't you believe me?
I'm one of the only ones who cared
So why won't you receive me?
I'm still the same person
I just changed my addiction
And I refuse to apologize
For giving up an old affliction.
I'm still trying to look out for you
But you won't let me be a friend.
Whether or not you allow me in
I'll be there till the end...
