There was something so delicate in the way she told me she was scared; it was almost hypnotic. She was a liar. It was beautiful the way she held her head high and took the punishment she knew she would get; it was terrifying. She was a fighter. The day she took that fist and punched that girl was the day I knew I had lost her; She wasn't innocent anymore. She was trouble. We were never close ya know? We never said 'I love you' or 'Have a great day' no... we were just there. She was gone. But today I felt bad... I wanted to tell her it would be okay and that she could get out of this rut if she wanted to... but I knew that wasn't happening. She was changing. She would turn into our mother soon.. a lowlife nothing. There was something painful watching her grow up.. Because as much as I wanted to hate her for who she became... *She was my sister.
I wish things were different for you... you don't have to be her.
