I can't choose family...

When I chose not to tell you anything

You claimed to be worried

You spread half-truths

When you barely know anything

I saw it as a betrayal

But because you were family

We cannot choose family

I forgave and allowed it to be forgotten

Even though your half truths triggered off events

Which made me lose someone

Whom helped and comforted and loved me in all the ways you could not

Now when I choose to tell you everything

Alleviate your worries

Informing and patiently explaining to you

What I am doing and why I am doing it

You still chose to get answers from another channel

What is the whole point of telling you everything you want to know

Explaining to you the reasons I have behind my every action

When you wouldn't support nor accept anyway

Neither would you help to assuage my secret dark fears

Fears you had always belittled

Had I always appeared too strong

That was what I often wondered

Nevertheless, I stopped wondering

I never take too long to come to a decision

When I shut the door and clam up

Which is what I will do from now onwards

Do not knock nor seek

For I will not open up anymore.

Well, you can't choose family, but you can learn from the short comings of others.

Never say anything, unless it is edifying.

The generic term for talking behind people's back is GOSSIP.

And in gossip, both gossipmonger and gossipmongee and EQUALLY wrong.

No more no less.

I need to get out of the house before I am poisoned to death by the system.

My dear Wei,

Running away is not gonna solve anything.

Merely delays the problem.

Yours is not to judge your family.

Yours is to be a good daughter and good sister.

Better still, be a good friend. Fix me up with a hot blind date.

Better still if she is totally blind

and really dumb
