My Little Sister
Location
My little sister hides from me
But she can not hide her pain
Always following
Always shadowing
She can’t escape
Though she fights
It still haunts her dreams
She wishes to escape these memories
Always there in her mind
All she wants is for it to stop
Always trying to escape
She cries for help
Knowing that the evil is inside her
There is nothing I can do
I try all I can to show her love
The evil feels this presence
And tries to fight her hopes
Making her feel alone
That she is a monster
A freak
A Psycho
The evil consumes her body
But I too had been consumed by the monster
Always following
Always shadowing
Knowing that the evil is inside me
I cried for help
No one answered
That is where we are not the same
My skin is made of porcelain;
If you break me the broken pieces will slice into your hand
As a reminder that things on high shelves should not be touched.
My legs may be soft,
But never underestimate how fast they can run to her
My arms are strong
I carried her once
And I have no doubt I could do it again.
And on nights when the evil clouds her heart
And she is as frail
I will lend her my spine.
I will stand up for her on day’s when her knees are weak,
And on nights when her head is so heavy,
And pillows will not do,
My chest will hold her weight.
Keeping the animal inside
The one ready to escape
All within her dreams
