Family by Blood, Strangers by Choice

Yeah. Sometimes family ain't the ones in your house. Sometimes family ain't

the ones with your blood. Mickey Rock. Talk Your Truth. Yeah.

I grew up thinking love was automatic. Siblings got your back,

the bond's supposed to be classic, but life hit different. The picture wasn't

matching. I was drowning in my storms. None of them were even asking.

Seen other homes share hugs like blessings. But mine felt cold.

No connection, no presence. I was fighting with my demons, trying to rise

from the mud. Yet the people in my bloodline showed me zero love.
