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
