My sister
I felt like a leaf tumbling through the wind where I had lost hope in myself,
lost hope of whom I wanted to become and had lost sight of who I was.
I felt like my life was no longer mine all the insecurities and self doubt consumed me.
Some days I would wonder what it would take to feel completely satisfied.
Some days I wished I didn't have these thoughts.
This was all because some bullies destroyed the person I was and the person I wanted to become.
I remember feeling so numb and so ashamed.
So confused and so hurt.
The constant reminder of being told to look a certain way.
The constant reminder of being told who I should be and what not to be.
The constant tears and frustration.
The constant reminder that I wouldn't amount to anything.
The constant reminder that kept me going.
The person who brought me back on my feet.
The person who held me as i cried.
The person who built me back up.
The person who motivated me to be the best version of myself.
The person who still motivates me everyday.
The person I aspire to be.
My other half.
My sister.
