Sister

Folder: 
Family/Friends

I grew up with her all my life

We've felt close, we've felt far

Got on each other's nerves

Leading to a fight



Seen each other through it all

She left many times

Taking a piece of my heart each time

But used to return not long after



She grew up, I'm halfway there

She leads a hard life, I learn from her mistakes

There are so many memories we share

All of this is what a sister makes



She left and had a baby

Still hadn't fully spread her wings

I learned from that, too

We still kept in touch, talking about things



But the other day I sent her a letter

It came back, saying she moved

She's pregnant again, I know

I wonder if she's okay, what she's going to do



I can't trust her to tell the truth

Or to be alone in a room with all my possessions

I can't trust her to always make the right decisions

But I can, and always will love my sister

This poem is very well written and so very true it's kinda scary

I like this poem.

I'm really close to one of my sisters too, since were only a year apart. We do alot of stuff together, people think were weird for it.
