seven strangers

despite
having the same parents,
raised under
the same room,
having meals at the same
table for years,
we are
all completely different
as if adopted
from strangers.
three brothers,
three sisters. me.
no one agrees
on anything.
no one thinks alike.
seven opposites
with the same blood
coursing through
our veins.
the love is there
somewhere,
but so is the passive
and aggressive
fight.
