My sister is me


 

I want you to know that it's not you, it's them
it's the world.
There is nothing wrong with you
In a world of fake
you're just too real
you don't hide what you feel
you're broken but so is the world
it's just that they wear masks
they can't handle it
but you're not alone
I'm here, feeling the same despair
same struggles
though it feels harder
no one showed or told us how to deal
forced to learn as we go
just be strong
I'll try my best if you do
