My Sister's Shadow
She cuts me down
It tiers real deep
Do they see me
Can they see me bleed
Everyday, every minute
They only care cause
“she didn’t do it”
It makes me feel
Like I weigh a ton
My face is backwards
And I’m always wrong
Can I do right
Is it a lost cause
Am I worth it
Or should I just give up
Is it my fault
Did I really do it
Should I be here
Can someone see me through it
Or will they see
What she sees
Then turn around
And run away
Will I be alone
For all days end
Or will someone come
To be my friend
My story cries
While my heart bleeds
And my soul dies
I’ll stay right here
Till the end comes
Till someone dares
To love me
And to be my friend
But will mine love me
for here I sit
Waiting still
To here those words
“I’m sorry you couldn’t deal”
She wont say them
I know its true
So still I sit here alone and blue
Maybe soon I will walk away
And find a place that I can live
A place where I matter
Where my soul soars
And where I matter most of all
