Caring For An Autistic Soul

Night after night. Day after day. Lord please watch over her I pray. It breaks my heart and I slowly fall apart. Seeing her sad makes me mad and feel like a bad sister to her even though I try my hardest to make her feel special, keep her crown and glow. The problems she'll have to face, the tears I'll have to erase, the time it will take to make sure she's alright, looking tight, and be there to fight her battles so she knows she got me through any and everything, through the good, the bad, and what the future may bring. My little sister, my other half, something that no one can replace even when we fall, we'll get back up and stand tall. The crazy conversations we share, the games of dare,the time I take to show her I care. She's not my child, she's my sister to be exact and to love and cherish is something we'll never lack. To see the world together, cold nights and stormy weather, always and forever. She's special and one of a kind, someone you'll have to take time to find out her personality, she may be smiling on the outside but stuck in reality, don't know the principality of life itself, so when it comes her way, she'll shrug her shoulders and have nothing to say because she lives day by day and was born this way. But she'll rise higher, she'll set this world on fire and grow one day to build an empire and shine brighter than the sun because she hasn't fought the war of life yet but she's already won.

Suicide

We lose people day to day 
In their mind they didn't wanna stay 
They didn't think they were enough 
And to them this world treated them rough
Sad they didn't know they mattered
Left many loved ones hearts shattered 
I cry when I think of the pain they went through 
Because I went through it too 
Cutting myself and staying up late
Crying and trying to determine my fate
Is my life worth living 
Is the pain they give worth giving 
For those of you who don't think you're worth it 
Always love yourself and tell someone you're hurting 
Don't take that step of taking your life 
Because those who love you will hurt and go through strife
You'll leave them questioning and falling apart 
When all they've ever done is love you from the start
So please think TWICE 
Before taking your life 
Because we've lost too many to this dreaded thing called 
                         SUICIDE
