Poem
I have two brothers and that is it, A sister would have made it perfect. I met this girl and we hung out all the time, I finally had a sister of mine. Even though, we didn’t have the same family, She was as real as a real sister could be. And I was six years younger than her, But that didn’t really seem to matter. I knew her brother and her dad, When I met her, her mom had just past. I met her boyfriend and her cousins too, Her only sister had died at age two. One thing set her apart from the rest, She would never settle for less. She broke up fights and talked things out, She was a peacemaker without a doubt. Her brother and dad were in and out of jail, For drug possession and intent to sell. She graduated from high school with a 4.0, And not one college she applied to said no. There was not one time she didn’t have my back, Whether for moral support or even an attack. I remember this one time her and me, Were riding as passengers and her brother was driving. They used to let me sit in the front seat, Because they knew that is where I had wanted to be. We had just pulled over to get some gas, She came up to the front seat and put the music on blast. A song that we liked had just came on, And we started singing along. Her brother was inside of the store, And a car pulled up that she couldn’t ignore. All of a sudden she jumped on top of me, I had no idea about what was happening. I didn’t know what was going on, But I could tell something was definitely wrong. She jumped back and she started to choke, And I noticed there was blood coming out of her throat. Her shoulder was the next thing the bullet had hit, There’s no way my sister can die like this! Her blood felt warm against my skin, That’s when I realized what was happenin’. Her brother barged his way through the car door, He picked up her body and threw it on the floor. I could not believe that he just did that, He didn’t stop or even look back. He feared about getting locked up at any moment, Because I found out that he had a warrant. If he didn’t do that could she have been saved? We will never know, we had to dig her grave. I didn’t even go to her funeral, I mean, I couldn’t because I was feeling too miserable. I pray for her family, her friends and her soul, My life, to her I will always owe, My mind is still in awe you see, It happened to her, but it could have been me.
