family matters

they get really messy, really fast.
so i'd just rather avoid it.
and forget that they exist.

but they're there..
waiting for me when i return home.
fine. i accept.
but please, dont attempt to sneak it into convo.
and act as though its not that big a deal..and bring it up lightly.
leave me be.

on another note..im grateful...for the obligations and responsibilities that tie me here..
even when i want to run-away from it all..from all of them..
