"I don't think that being a strong person is about ignoring your emotions and fighting your feelings. Putting on a brave face doesn't mean you're a brave person. That's why everybody in my life knows everything that I'm going through. I can't hide anything from them. People need to realise that being open isn't the same as being weak."

- Taylor Swift

Blood is Blood

You do not do what you do not do,
You said you were my armour,
But you're really my cage,
You said I was your friend,
But I'm really your slave.
Blood is blood,
But hate is hate.

You do not know what you do not know,
Tears of blood in the river of love,
You're the axe in our family tree.
All I want is all I crave,
Blood is blood,
But hate is hate.

You do not see what you do not see,
Next time you point your finger,
I'll point it to the mirror,
I hope it's not too late for you to be saved,
But blood is blood,
And hate is hate.

I'd say 'I love' if you said it too,
I'd say 'I love' even if I meant 'I lie',
I love you,
I really do,
But
Love is love,
Blood is blood,
And hate is hate.

What did we do before mirrors?

"Love is love
Blood is blood
Hate is hate".

And the "axe in our family tree".

And the lines which begin "You do not know what you do not know" and "You do not do what you do not do".

This would be good read out loud.
