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
