My dad calls me Little Sister.
I don’t know the reference
Or what part of me deserves that name.

Now that I’ve pretended to grow up
And now that I’M 18 MOM AND DAD IT’S MY LIFE
I can see where the “little” comes from.

Nobody ever had to tell me how to be a sister.
From Day 1 of what I remember,
All I ever wanted to do was make my brother happy.

I saw one day that my wish was fleeting
Standing up against the titans
Depression, Anxiety, Addiction, Hate, Fear, Anger, Confusion, and Violence.

I also quickly realized that
Caution is key.
I also eventually learned that I had roughly 45 seconds
After my brother and parents finish their scream battle
Before the battle came to my doorstep
In the form of kicking and fists
That was often one-sided.
Call me a passifist.
Who am I kidding, It was always one-sided.

Just this am wake up for l.a.

You in the desperate need of irish ink

I got accepted by the California arts council

The poet laureate of California and the literary specialist
Did congratulate me

I am now and forever more a capable passifist
And look forward to passifying that printing press with peaceful and general assembly of journalism
And social reform
If our expectation of our own literacy

Thank you my brothers and sisters

Peace

Irish

Taylor, I'll be under a tree tonight
