Joandaliz
Dear Older Sister,
I’m only a year younger
But it feels like much more
I remember being bullied by you
And being much fatter than you
I remember you reading my diary and telling
Mom about my crushes;
Always three steps ahead of me
But I don’t remember when we grew apart
Nor do I remember when we grew closer
I don’t remember when we lost ourselves
Into the pitfalls of society
So much that we became completely
Different people
Older Sister,
What have we become?
Do you remember me as I once was?
Do you remember what I looked like growing up?
And what my favorite game to play was?
Do you remember how
We hated each other during the day
But you would always come to my room and
Sleep with me at night?
I remember that
But I’m not sure if you do
You’ve lost sight of the simple things in life
Because all you can focus on is being beautiful
I don’t remember the times when
You didn’t have to try so hard to look beautiful
Just please stop burring yourself in Sephora and MAC
And I promise,
You’ll see it
You’ll see Joandaliz
And not your beautiful ‘Kim Kay’
Older sister,
Can you remember the last time
I told you I loved you?
I can’t
And I’m sorry for that
Because I love you so much
The scary part is
I think I love you more than you love yourself
I can only pray
You don’t Self Destruct
