Sister

Five years ago today
I lost you
You chose escape and went away
I felt my heart break in two
You fought your demons as long as you could
Sadly even the strong grow tired
Meanwhile I fight to bring my own down for good
Yet this year I feel nothing but expired
My strength depleted
My motivation defeated
Still I fight on
Even with everyone I love gone
I stand


Today, 5 years ago, I lost my sister. Today, is the first day since her passing that I have felt true weakness, and yet, true strength. Today, I am still standing. Through her loss, my biggest heartbreak, my fights with anxiety, depression, and attempts at suicide, I face what can only be the hardest time for me yet. I still stand. Carry on.
