BIG SISTER

by

Sherene Delgado

It’s hard for me to say I hate you anymore
When I do not even know you
I never did really
I only knew what you put me through
How you made me dry late at night
When no one could see me
Why?
I'll never know
Because I'll never ask you
When I became a big sister like you
I started to make the same mistakes you did
I started to hurt the one I should have been protecting
The world is a hurtful and hateful place
You taught me that
But I wanted to shield, rather then show her that lesson
That doesn’t make me a better person then you
It doesn’t mean you were right in teaching me that lesson
Even though I am stronger because of it
As life happened to me, these lessons would have come my way
I only wished I would have had a big sister who would have protected me
Rather then one who showed me how cruel the world could be
