"Would she hear me if I called her name? Would she hold me if she knew my shame? Would she even love me if I was to blame?" -Favourite poem ever♥


Dear God,
There he goes.
All grown up,
With a big ole nose.
Just like me,
And yet a boy.
I remember when,
He was my "joy".
That little kid,
Who had a heart of gold,
Is now sixteen;
I feel so old.
His hands and feet,
They're way too big.
He shaves his head,
And he's an earwig.
I remember when,
I dressed him up.
He's made me proud,
I've made him tough.
I guess that's what
We sisters do,
We tear you down,
And you come out new.
You come out smart;
You come out strong.
You hear me yell.
You say "so long".
I'll be honest,
He's a brat.
He's annoying,
Just like his cat.
But in the end,
I'll always see,
The man that brat
Turned out to be.
I've watched him change;
I've seen him grow.
But no matter how big,
He still knows:
I'm the sister,
He's the brother,
And if you have no one,
You still have each other.
Even though he's annoying,
And he's just a "stupid boy",
That's my brother, whom I love,
A bouncing bundle of joy.
And inspiration,
Especially to me,
For he shows
Who I want to be.
I know I don't say it,
As much as I could,
Especially after we fight,
And I know I should.
My brother is my idol,
He's my shining star.
Yeah, he's a total brat,
And I'd like to hit him with a car,
But at the end of the day
When no one is around,
I might just give him a hug,
And we won't make a sound.
The mutual agreement
That we've had since we first met
The one of only love,
And I haven't killed you, yet,
Is the reason why I stay here
And love my little brother.
It's because I've only got one,
And I don't need another.

hi there, I really like this and my sister probably says the same thing. we may be twins but our family syill had us acknoledge our birth order. She'd openly tell people that she'd love to strangle me to death but we both know that despite it all, we're there for each other.
