Family or Food?

Sat, 07/25/2015 - 18:50 -- tmlowry

The idea of FOOD

doesn't it make your mouth water,

put you in a great mood?

"It'll bring us together" the mother said to her daughter

for all she saw was her parents being rude.

Her family was broken,

but cookouts, restaurants, and diners were her escape.

FOOD was the token

to help her family reshape

and to forget the hurtful words spoken

or atleast mask them with a cape.

The love for cucumbers and cheese

filled a void

and put her at ease.

For her parents couldn't show her love

without help from up above.

Abuse and bruises

or a gravy boat that cruises.

Lasagna and bread

or living outside not in her bed.

Screams from a drunkard

or a hot dog with ketchup and mustard.

She made her decision and you know what it was because

FOOD IS AWESOME

and happiness is what it does!
