Sister

Sister 

I wish I had an older sister they say 
But they don’t realise what it’s like every day
You see my sister isn’t like the others 
I’m even treated better by my brothers 
The constant why’s and what’s and how’s 
What did I do to ever make you disavow 
You make me cry and scream and shout 
But no matter what I still always doubt 
One day might me different, better 
But you’ll always scream if I touch your sweater 
You don’t ever talk to me tell me things you say
But every time I do you ruin my day 
Tell me it’s my fault oh how  I am 
You scream and shout and i just say damn
You travel and have fun with friends 
And I don’t ever tell you how much it offends
Because you’ll never know not really 
You’ll just tell me I’m not seeing clearly 
But when I’m the one that doesn’t talk 
You start to scream and start to squak 
It’s suddenly my fault all over again 
Your excuses are just a means to an end 
Our mother tells me to try to fix it 
And so I do I try to commit 
But once again you scream and shout 
Telling me to just get out 
I’m done for good no more I say
But the decision haunts me every day 
What did I do to feel this way?
Sister
My worst enemy 
But for others their best friend

Life

Something we all have 
Good and bad 
We’re born we live we die 
But it’s more than meets the eye 
It’s a world of happiness, betrayal, anger
Who do you have as your anchor?
The anchor is what keeps us going 
They are our strengths 
What keeps our blood flowing 
So next time you hear of life 
Remember never to think twice 
The world is more than you know 
Maybe wrapped up with a neat little bow 
And inside
Well wouldn’t you like to know
