Family meeting

Everyone freeze!
Just hold on!
You almost broke my damn finger!
Just relax!
Where are you going?
He didn't mean it!
Come back inside!
What the hell is wrong with you?
Why would you provoke him to anger like that?
You slipped up?
We can't afford that.
Apologize.
Be a man.
Shake hands.
Stop crying ma.
Hate to see a grown man cry.
Manly as he is.
It's going to be ok.
Be the backbone. Be the backbone.
Alright.
What's wrong man?
Are you unhappy?
Why?
That's in the past.
You have unresolved issues.
Yes. Within yourself.
You have to let that go.
Now what?
No more lies?
Who's lied to you?
When?
Of course.
That's in the past.
You have to let that go, to be happy.
She said she was sorry.
Be happy.
Be understanding. 
We are family.
We can only depend on each other.
Did you hear me, woman?
Your what?
Chronic depression?
Since when?
I can show you what it is bro.
It's not an excuse to be unhappy.
I can help you.
I can push you more.
I'm often tired.
School. Two jobs.
We are going to help each other in this house.
We love you too.
I love all of you.
Hug it out. Hug it out.
Now, let's have peace.

This was/is a beautiful assault on my brain. I absolutely adore it. The voices, the people, the differences of opinion. Wonderful how it all just comes together.

Thanks Crush!

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
