A child once told me that the DNA thru our veins didn't mean s*it
...and afterwards I silently went into a bi*ch fit
This stemmed from a graduation I forgot to mention
So now that she "snapped", she has my undivided attention
I saw this child for what she was that day
Jealous, clueless and one a^& whoopin away
The things that remarked upon cut me so deep
My heart turned cold to her and the tears did seep
She is the baby and I am the prodgial daughter
from a former romance and we share the same father
But we are not the same, she comes from more than I
I live with my mom, and money is hard to come by
She lives in a huge house, I see drive bys
She wants for nothin, and she believes all these lies
There are benefits from her family that I do not reap
She has sorely mistaken me from a beggar on the street
Yes, I come around rarely but there are things she doesn't know
About the years of back child support her father owes
About how I slaved thru college & only had my mother's aid
I made it thru by fGod grace and I NEVER had it made
She doesn't understand that I've dealt with so mch rejection
I could give a d@mn about her familys affection
She'll never know how I struggled and how I triumph in my success
I was so low @ times but now I feel like I've truely been blessed
She only sees my vacancy, and how I was never there
She doesn't bother to ask me why and it seems like she doesn't care
How dare this child judge me? Based on things unseen?
How parts of my life have been a nightmare, and hers always a dream
I may try to be a bigger person but I just don't have that strength
Im tired of going that extra mile, I need HER to close that length
The Libra in me can't even hug her no more, I got a deep seeded grudge
This lil infant stands there and puts me down, drags my name in the mud
Im glad I finally saw her for what she was, stuck in her own world
And I see now.... that my sister is truly one ...lost ...little ....girl
 
This was a touching read. I understand sibling conflict.

You expressed this so well, the pain, the anger, the indignation....as well as telling how you "made it over" in spite of the obstacles.

Bravo to your writing skills and to you! :toast:




I pray that she not remain "lost" and as she gets older and wiser that she look for you.....Hopefully, like magnets, you two "opposites" will attract each other.
