How?


How come you're not scared?
I'm not scared because I've already seen the worst,
How come you are so happy?
Because I've learned never to take happiness for granted
How are you so careless and free?
I've held myself hostage in my own mind and I've finally let myself go free,
How come you're so okay with everything,
Because I've learned to take things as they come; with expectations come limitations,
How come you're so wise?
I've had to solve so many of my problems,
How come you're so kind?
Because of how much kindness has helped me hold on a little longer.

    Because I will go half hungry so they can eat the other part of my sandwich,

    The simmering heat of anger that a sibling can make you burn with can be quite questionable,
