I didn't choose this.

Never liked any of it.

Lil messed up in the head if ya think I prayed it happen when it did.

'Cos I didn't..

I'd never..

But I ain't sorry 'bout it.

See 'er there? Sittin' on a veranda wit' em' books and nothin' else.

Readin'

At'em all she do a day.

Read...

We more alike than ya think but we aint a same.

Twins y'all call it.

Look a same, walk n talk a same y'all wanna see we be dressin a same dolled up pup.

But we don't like that

I don't like that.

Never did

Never will

People be comparin' us like em broken goods up for a good end price.

Is a shame n sickenin' wit' em hoggin 'er noses where it don't belong.

I ain't jaggin up my cart to bein' praisin' like she do a day wit' y'all jacked up snobs. I ain't gon' give a jack n fickle if we disappoint y'all by bein' our own person.

But she went gon and done it.

Old sis by a straight couple a minutes thinkin she can do 'er trash on me.

Dressin like me.

Talkin like me.

Like lookin at a mirror of mah self. Ain't that a shocker.

I went n told 'er quit it.

Told 'er off bout em circus she givin to em of us cos it ain't nice nd it ain't funny.

She stopped bout a mile way but didn't change a fact bout a face.

We was wit' a same face.

I hated mah face.

Same as 'ers a bout it.

People huggled up n 'usher they bein proud it we twins.

Sister and me fought bout it

Gotten tired of bein' a same all em times.

I done said I hate her for bein born

She yell em back at me wit' a same blow

I was mad, upset n stupid I gone told 'er if don't change 'er face... ... I will.

Took 'ere a pan wit em fried meat Mama cookin when she was tendin to er toddler in a room.

I was gon' pour it on me

But sister done me over, took em fried off mah hand

She at it wit er, tipped fallin over wit a fry and burnt herself.

Big ol sis saved me mah face wit no scratch

But her left face burnt and gone left blinded cos of a 'ire bout it.

I ain't sorry

But she my evrythin I can't go livin without.

'Er blind side gon be me takin care of 'er a fine a day together.
