Sister Why?

Why must you indulge?
Some of the sadness you divulge in 
It’s a day we should share together 
Life isn’t forever 
The time is passing fast 
You know my love for you will outlast 
This dependency on drama 
If you keep with this you’ll be in a coma 
Your distance of true heart 
Is really pulling me apart 
Put away those habits of your 
They only creature wars 
Between me and your brother
I know this all started with the loss of our Mother 
 Live life, feel alive 
Why do you deprive?
Yourself of a quality life
But away your anger and strife 
You have so much to give
Sister please put away the pills and Live!
