  • Hi, Everyone!! Sorry I haven't posted anything new but I'll be back soon. I finally did it and wanted to share it with you..... "I TELL A STORY TOO..." written by ME has finally been released. Please GO TO WEBSITE: www.xlibirs.com/ITellAStoryToo.html. I APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT

My Sister

She has a way of expressing herself 
The way it all adds up in her head
The horrible story at the end...when it all comes out.

She tries to protect herself by singing or maybe dancing in the rain
Wants to live her life in fairy tales to silence the suffering and the pain.

Unable to control of emotions that are held inside
The kindness that turns into hate
The love that is jealous
The joy that becomes sadness from one look at her life.

A lost world has been created for her
She lives her life toward a direction that is unknown
Confusion and Lies become truth...In her everyday struggle for hope.

She begins to play a little game
Fighting the fear that has taken over
Popping pills with side effects to every name
Just to stop them from talking to her.

Fist fighting with the evil spirit
They call it the Devil himself
Sweet by Sight but poison to the heart
Tells you, "I'm sorry, I love you"
But stabs you as soon as you part.

Violence is the right of way
Screams for help
Begging for her to stop but don't leave
Pleading with her, Reminding her
That the one that has helped you has always been me.

Slaps on the face
Glass on the floor
Shovels to the head
Blurriness to the eyes
Knives to the wrist to slice a meaning of faith in her life.

She pronounces her suicidal thoughts
to the family that has nothing but love
She'll give you a vivid description
of how she wants to kill you...then herself.

Pain to the brain
Unsure of the cause
but I will continue to give up my life for You
To help You
Show You how to love
Protect You from harm

I smell your quiet desperation
I am... Your Sister

Your poem reads well, but specifically, you give a message of helpfulness.... even though it pretty much was thrust into your lap... and if it has been a long-term situation, then you have probably experienced a wide variety of mood extremes -- chemical imbalance ? how sad for your sister, how difficult for your immediate family, but then ... it's just nice that you accept your giving with kindness....

Thank you! Yes, this is very true. Ever since my sister was born, doctors could never figure out exactly what is wrong with her. She was diagnosed with so many different kinds of disorders. It's was very difficult for my family but I guess with age and time, it's getting a little better. Thank you for reading.

And what a good sister this is. She should be crazy just from dealing with the problems;yet, she remains faithful to her sibling. This is so well written. The words just flow from your pen.

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
