Family Values

🤍🖤

By River and Celia in Underland Published 9 months ago • 1 min read
Dallee Generated

Blood is thicker than water

And friends made to last

Seeping through the cracks to

Our stats.

We see you

There

In the etch

Of a stark blue

Lined graph –

The truth.

Spying from afar-

But

Support

A like

Or two -

Too much

To offer.

Creeping –

Stay silent.

Making sure

We know

You couldn’t

Care

Less.

    Couldn’t care less …… gosh, felt that. This was so good.

  • Oof, that sure hit hard. Loved your poem!

    I don't share with my family anymore. What's the point now that Mom's gone? I've always wondered who clicks on my stories.

  • Judey Kalchik 9 months ago

    I never thought of it like that. Who are those clicks? {{{{đź’—}}}}

    Yup.

    Beautiful, bold. But, ugh. 🥲

  • Rachel Deeming9 months ago

    This made me feel sad and ostracised and angry. Hope you're doing okay.

    Hard-hitting and very, very real.
