My sister

I felt like a leaf tumbling through the wind where I had lost hope in myself,

lost hope of whom I wanted to become and had lost sight of who I was.

I felt like my life was no longer mine all the insecurities and self doubt  consumed me.

Some days I would wonder what it would take to feel completely satisfied.

Some days I wished I didn't have these thoughts.

This was all because some bullies destroyed the person I was and the person I wanted to become.

I remember feeling so numb and so ashamed.

So confused and so hurt.

The constant reminder of being told to look a certain way.

The constant reminder of being told who I should be and what not to be.

The constant tears and frustration.

The constant reminder that I wouldn't amount to anything.

The constant reminder that kept me going.

The person who brought me back on my feet.

The person who held me as i cried.

The person who built me back up.

The person who motivated me to be the best version of myself.

The person who still motivates me everyday.

The person I aspire to be.

My other half.

My sister.
