Vices
They all had them
They were all anxious and insecure
They were all connected somehow
Of course that's how family and friends are
Vices
Some smoked
Many drank
Some hid behind their phones
Many denied what they did
Some ate their feelings away with food
Many joked inappropriately
Why can't we all be real?
Why can't we all be raw?
Why can't we all answer hard questions?
Why do we babble about a lot of nothing?
Is this really what family and friends are supposed to be?
For some, maybe it is all they've ever known
For many this is just the way they are home grown
The battle of this and that was strong
Mindful self-conflicting warring song
