Sisters

Where are you going to be

When I need you?

Are you going to stand there

And take it?

Are you going to

Share the load?

Are you going to have my back

When I'm anything but perfect?

Where are you going to be?

Or are you going to

Laugh it off?

Tell me I'm overreacting?

These are the questions I ask

Of anyone I think could be as good as it gets.

And the both of you

Have passed the test.

I get it if you can't be here for every mood swing.

I'm a hard person to agree with.

I do not bend or break

For just anyone.

But for the two of you

I'd do anything.

You know that, right?

I joke

I poke fun

I mock and sigh and roll my eyes

But I love you, okay?

Both of you.

You are my sisters

In this.

That means a lot to me.

Bonded by an environment all three of us

Wish we could leave

But can't;

Forced together, yes,

But sticking like glue.

To my sisters, who have been there

Through thick and thin;

My best days, and my worst

Thank you.

  • To the trees

    To the trees, 

    Your green crowns standing proudly against the sky;

    To the trees,

    Trunks twisting every which way

    Rooted firmly to the earth

    With your crests in the clouds.

     

    To the trees,

  • P.E.

    Today

    We had P.E.

    I do not mind P.E. -

    I do not care -

    I can play sports like any teenager

    If not a little better.

    There would have been no problem

    Except

    You had to create one, didn't you?

  • Summer

    Summer is just around the corner

    And I can feel it.

    I can feel it in the trees' blossoms under my fingertips,

    Every dandelion I pick for a crown that always droops,

    In how the mud sinks into my shoes,
