Family reunions can be stressful

Meeting people you never met

Shaking hands with cousins

Scared that you don't fit in.

The ride there can be long

It can be short even

But it won't stop

The fear inside.

Once you get there your supposed to mingle

Your supposed to feel comfortable

Your not supposed to be upset or angry

But you are.

Family can sometimes be hardheaded

Family can sometimes not understand you

Family can sometimes mock you for being you

Family's not supposed to do that.

Family reunions can be stressful

Tiring even

At the end of the day it's family your meeting

And family is forever.
