Family
Can’t live with them
Can’t live without them
What to do with them?
They are always around,
when you are happy
when you are sad
sometimes they are the cause of those
Sometimes you wish they would leave
Just disappear and leave you alone
Be quiet when you need the peace
And give you space to think and reflect.
You wonder why they do the things they do
Say the things they say
React the way they do
Stay the way they stay.
Yet at times you are glad of them
Around holidays like Christmas
When you are moving
Or when you are lonely.
Other times you wish they would go
Go away forever
Leave you to your thoughts
Let you be alone.
What do we do with these strangers?
Do we let them into our house?
Stay in our hearts?
Bother us forever?
I think we do, usually
Let them in
Even if we fight
And bicker, yell
We still know
That deep down
We love them
And always will.

Aaaah, families.
Love the dynamic going here, and especially how you say "strangers" in the third to last stanza. It definitely helps convey your point.
They are always around,
when you are happy
when you are sad
sometimes they are the cause of those
This stanza felt awkward to me.
