Dysfunctional

Duty bound by family ties we feel a weighted anchor Yearning freedom as we’d like it to be Sinking into a catch 22 every time Frustrations get the better of us all Until we break and then make up Nothing seems to stop the cycle Consuming time we can’t get back Trying to fix what we think we must Irrational though it seems Our love runs deep within our roots Nothing can release us, only Acceptance Lets all accept we are Dysfunctional

...hey Laura, it has been said "our family put the "fun" in dysfunctional". I had to read this one just to see how you treated it in the Acrostic form. Nicely done..
