Her name is -

To MY Sister

What if you could turn back time?
Undo all the terrible things in your life.
Do you blame yourself for all that has transpired…
Or do you simply hurt because of the choices of others?
Do you dive deep into your soul trying to find answers to their deeds?

Don’t hurt yourself over their account.
You’ll only bleed onto broken picture frames.
You want mama, big brother back home…
Into your arms to tell them of how you are growing up.
Do you look for them where ever you might be?

Don’t follow them in order to find them.
You’ll only kiss the cold stone of nothingness as well.
Will you forever morn your loss…
Or will you end everything to be free of such a burden?
Do you still cry every night over their choices to leave?

Sorry little sister, you love them, but I hate them.
For leaving you and brother and big sister and papa too.
I hate, and yet love them even still…
Though I do not know why, they still touch my heart.
Am I cursed with memories of people I love; I wonder if they even still love me?

Don’t cry; don’t cry anymore little sister.
Remember the acorns, the leave, the water drops, and the grass blades?
Nothing in life is ever easy…
But you can move forward without the troubles of yesterday.
I’m still here…so is big sister, brother, and papa.

Don’t cry anymore little sister.
You’re friends and family still love you.
Nothing can take the place of mama and big brother…
But you will still feel true love from the ones around you…
The ones who love and support you

Don’t you know who you are and what you mean to us…to me?
You’re loving and kind and humble and you’re growing up to be quite beautiful.
Small adorable figure, kind gentle heart…
Cherish yourself…for you are someone special.
Believe in yourself, because you are strong.

Don’t cry anymore little sister.
You can only grow and move forward now…
Become stronger from you hurting.
Free yourself from the chains of despair and embrace your true family.
Please, smile at your future; your future with all those who love you.

Don’t cry. I love you.

haha, nicely worded

WRONG! Changing the world is to our avail because even though troubles will always exist, they can can be diminished to a smaller scale.

The rest I believe to be true

That's so beautiful & touching - I don't know how else to describe it.

Also, thanks so much for your comment – it helped me see from a different point of view.

So you asked who cares what people think & if people started believing the sky was red, that wouldn’t make it true. And although I love that attitude, it's not completely true. It unfortunately does matter what people think – it effects how you’re treated, trusted, and even your freedom. Furthermore, it’s been proven in communications that if you tell something to someone often enough, they’ll start to believe it. So, in the extreme case, if people are told the sky is red, then they could just come to believe that the color blue is called “red.” Because we firstly believe the sky is blue only because we’ve been told so.

And if people believe that teenagers are liars, you’re right, that doesn’t make it true. Just like the sky is the color blue, even if people believe it is red.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, however; we are also entitled to try and influence other’s false opinions. So that was the point of the post – to influence opinions & to help teens who might start pondering what people say they do.

So thanks again for pointing all that out – I guess it's just a difference of perception. & thanks for the encouragement :)
