Dear Sister

You were the reason I stayed 
but not the reason I'm gone today 
for you I braved her torture 
and even with a tumor of self hate 
she still knocked me down
 but I did not break down

"ugly, fat, stupid, thick
uhhhhh you make me sick" 
words used by she 
my mother who hates me 


I nearly took my life you see 
but I couldn't use the knife 
I couldn't belike her 
so now my armors stronger 
I will win this battle for us two
just watch and you will see
