Sis

This poem is about my sister that I didn't know I had until I overheard my mom talk about my biological father having a daughter. She still doesn't know that I know. This was rough for me.

Sis

 

It’s bright outside

But it’s darker in here

Cold, stormy nights

Are all that I hear

 

Scared of the darkness

But there I must stay

Freedom is the farthest

Because I’m locked away

 

The truth is all I want, am I getting hotter?

Secrets like my father’s daughter

Reasons why I sit and ponder…

Wonder if I ever saw her?

 

Maybe a sibling I could actually like,

Unlike the others

Maybe we would never fight,

Unlike my brothers

And if we did…

 

Later we would hug and laugh

Even if all we are is half…

The better half, she would have the better half

She would have the better dad

The one I wish I had

 

The one I always wish I knew

Sis, I hope he’s great for you

Maybe one day great for two

When I have the courage to…

 

I always wanted a sister

I never knew that I missed her…

Ironic isn’t it?

 

I was about five when we up and left

I guess that makes you about twelve or less

 

I wonder…

Do you know about me?

Did dad tell you or is he just as shady?

 

I hope not

I wouldn’t wish this on you

If I never get to see you

I hope you know truth

 

As I walk down this lonely street

I’m hoping someday we can meet

 

Dad will be great

And you will be better

We’ll finally be together

And clear up the weather

 

Together with sis

No more thunder

A family one day

Freedom

I wonder…

I handed this in as an English project, it wasn't really graded though. What grade would you give me? lol
