Family, a bond that's meant to be unbroken,
I find myself in a scam, heartbroken.
Laughter, tears, and growth, we shared,
But it was a facade, no love was spared.
Smiles that masked the daggers behind,
A betrayal so cruel, it's hard pill to swallow.
An aunt, an idol, in nephew's innocent eyes,
Turned out to be a wolf in sheep's disguise.
Her secrets, dark and deep, she chose to hide,
By tarnishing a child's life, casting love aside.
This isn't family, this is sin, a painful fact,
A wound so deep, it leaves an impact.
A sister, once admired, now a source of my pain,
Her actions revealed, trust will never be the same.
The love I thought was pure, was never there,
A harsh reality, it's too much to bear.
My son, her nephew, she was to protect,
Instead, she scarred him, for her own effect.
My tears fell like rain, my breath, it ceased,
Numb to the fact, in my family I was never counted.
They took it lightly, as if it's no big deal,
Unaware of the future damage, the wounds to heal.
My heart bleeds, my trust shattered, my son traumatized,
By my own flesh and blood, a betrayal was disguised.
Trust, I will not, not even if life demands,
I'd rather rely on strangers, than on family's hands.
For they have shown, they'll slaughter without a doubt,
Family, a word, I wish to never speak about
