Family! You can choose your friends but not your family. You are born into a group of people, raised by them and set on your path of life. Mother nature arranges this, and she knows what she is doing. You are the best physical version of what you could be for your parents, and they kept you alive and fed and here you are, reading this. You out swam millions of other sperm to that prized egg and you are the prize. Mom and dad then did their best to make you human. Once you are grown and enter life with the tools they gave you, never forget them and what they taught you, but know your mind is totally yours! Expose it to everything and live a life worth remembering.

I was born into an interesting group,
some of them awesome,
some of them poop,
a haphazard mix, just like soup.

At times they embarrassed me,
other times even harassed me,
but they gave me a place
where I could always show my real face.

Mom, dad, dead sister and two brothers,
my family was the luck of the draw,
just like it was for countless others,
but what I drew was not the short straw.

I love you my crazy family,
even though I left
I am still beset
by that which you installed.

My personality, 
my mentality,
I still am what you made me,
in absolute totality.
