I wrote this for my sister. You're my inspiration for everything, I love you and stay strong.

***

You're perfect

At least you've always seemed

Stronger then them

Stronger for me

You took on anything

That came your way

Now what do I do?

What do I say?

You were the confident one

You knew everything

You always looked so happy

You looked like you could sing

You stood up for me

You were my strength when I had none

I thought you could take on the world

Or make a miracle just for fun

But some time back

Things started to change

You didn't shine like you used to

You were acting so strange

I thought you knew everything

There was to know

But the chinks in your armour

Were beginning to show

I couldn't even remember

Your laugh anymore

But I still didn't believe

This could be something more

There's no need to worry

It's just a phase

She'll get better soon

My mother would say

So I waited and waited

But your emotions never swayed

Not one laugh or one smile

You never looked my way

They called it depression

Could it really be true?

My perfect big sister

They couldn't mean you
