So I’m 22 and my Sister (who this poem is about) is 26. We’ve never really been close due to our traumatic childhood. We dealt with the trauma very differently. I chose to self destruct and distance myself from everyone(especially my sister). She chose to get her life together. Our mom died 1 year ago. Our dad is dealing with our mom dying by abusing pain pills. He’s been in 2 near-death car accidents which resulted in DUI’s in the last year. We just recently decided that we NEED each other. My dad is going to end up dying soon and if/when he does, we’re all each other has. This one is for you, Sis:
We didn’t deserve
To be let down by the ones we love the most
We handled it the only way we knew how to
We armed ourselves with hate and resentment
...the only ammo we had ever known
I spent so much time reminding myself of the bad times over the years
That I forgot how many good times we had
These past couple of weeks helped me to remember
All of the smiles and the countless laughs
I remember the nights we would listen to “Open House Party” on the radio until we fell asleep
You introduced me to Avril Lavigne and Brittany Spears
You’re the reason I have great taste in music(now that we’re grown up😂)
Music was our escape during those dark dark years
I remember the days we would spend playing “school” and “house”
I’ve always looked up to you
You’re the reason I’m so smart
You’re the reason words flow so beautifully when I pick up a pen
I remember the dark years
The nights that you would assure me that mom was okay
You held me together when I was falling apart
You would assure me that tomorrow would bring a brighter day
You taught me how to ride a bike
You taught me how to do my make up
You taught me how to be myself
You taught me how to stay strong when times got tough
I guess I let those dark years without you make me forgot that you never left me
You were never more than a phone call away
You never stopped caring
I spent all those years with my guard up
that I’m just now realizing that I need my sister more than anyone these days
Moms gone and dads not himself anymore
We need each other more now, than ever
We got let down so many times that we forgot to pick each other up
I love you with all my heart, my sweet sister
I promise, from now on, that I’ll be better
