My baby sister...

She's fragile

But she doesn't show it

She could break any minute

But she lives without caution

Stepping on the cracks sometimes

She's my baby sister

I couldn't imagine life without her in it

Sometimes she lives with care

And sometimes she's just carefree

And I love her so

She builds up all these walls

And even though it's a struggle

She climbs the wall

And builds another on the other side

Just to do it all over again

She's so fragile

And I would do anything for her

Even though she doesn't show it

She could break any minute

I would do anything for her

I fell...

He said I was beautiful

He said I was smart

He said I was perfect

He built a beautiful pedestal for me

And he demanded that I not fall off

But I did of course and it hurt

Because he walked away from the broken pieces

Sighing and shaking his head

Mumbling something like "I knew it..."

I sat and cried for a minute

To startled to realize

I still had the legs to get up and walk away

The eyes to see where I needed to go

The heart within my chest beating to let me know "you're alive so live"

The hand and arms to hold things and people close

The friends to keep me company when I was unperfect

And the will to say "no, no I'm perfect just the way I am"

«If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.» — Martin Luther King Jr.

Don't

Don't shed a tear for me

I'm not worth all the salt in the sea

Or even the salt in this salt shaker

Don't follow me please

I'm not worth the bumps in the long road ahead

Not even the wrinkles on this page

Don't look at me

I'm not worth all the pictures in the world

Not even this mirror on this wall

Don't talk to me

I'm not worth all the words in the world

Not even a simple hello

Don't think about me

I'm not worth all the thoughts in the world

Not even one about what my name is

And whatever you do

Don't bleed for me

I'm not even worth one drop

Not For The Credit

For those you love

You would go the extra mile

Just to go the extra mile

Not for the credit

But for the satisfaction

You would want tell everyone

About that person

Just to let the world know they exist

Not for the credit in knowing them

But for the satisfaction

That person fills your heart with joy

And your stomach with butterflies

And you tell people about this feeling

Not for the credit that you're in love

But for the satisfaction

You always want to be with that person

And their touch sends sparks down your spine

So you make sure you're near them as often as possible

Not for the credit

But for the satisfaction
