There you go again: 

Reciting beautiful words 

That no one cares about. 

My broken mouth waits impatiently; 

i always feel pressured into

being grateful for the biggest things i can

which to me always sounds like i'm shouting for forgiveness

instead of gratitude. i never get to say i'm grateful

She is shaky and terrified 

I hold her gently in my arms 

She is not really gone

She is right here

She is not really lost

She's only at college

becoming a

a sister that I do not know

a girl beyond creation
