Sisters

The Holy Trinity
The Three Musketeers
The Three Stooges
The Golden Trio
The Three Graces
And us

The flirt
The social butterfly
The awkward one

The student council leader
The perfect example
The team captain

The flawless make-up artist
The passionate painter
The imaginative writer

We grew up together
The three of us
Bound by friendship
Bound by love

Two of us sisters by chance
Another adopted into the group
Before any of us were even born

A tripod of support
Each of us ready to push the others up
To lift them into the sky
To lift them to push new limits

Thank you both
I couldn't have done it without you

  • What I Can't See

    The world looks odd without my glasses.
    I can see the details on my lunchbox
    and the tiniest specks on my computer,
    but I could not tell you
    what is written on the menu
    or what that poster on the wall says.
  • tired

    i'm tired
    it's an exhaustion that permeates my attempts to clear my mind
    wrings me out like an old washcloth
    leaves me feeling almost empty

    i'm falling asleep
    and every time I shut my eyes
    i lose a little bit more of myself
  • i am a universe

    if i am a universe
    then the stars are my personality
    the greatest forces
    in this whirling mass
    making me who i am
    so many aspects
    so varied, so scattered
    creating a shining light
    displayed for all to see
