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.

  • The thing is

    The thing is,

    I can't get over it.

    It sticks in my memory

    unforgettable

    and I want it

    but I know it was just

    subconscious dreamland.

    It was old

  • Future fantasy

    I dreamt

    it was next year

    everyone I loved was there

    tall chairs

    light work

    not reality

    everyone

    perfect

    I woke up and I felt his love

    butterfly wings against my cheek

  • Infinity

    My dread of math -

    infinite.

    Why must it be so complicated?

    Math reasoning may be the authority on your scoring sheets

    but it's not the boss of me.

    Because there is no math reasoning.
