When I look into your eyes
I don’t see what others see,
I see someone lost and angry
In desperate need to be free.

I don’t see happiness and laughter
I see heartache and pain.
But as your older sister
I want you to feel whole again.

Tell me about your pain
Don’t keep me in the dark.
Tell what’s on your mind
Help me find your inner spark.

It wasn’t easy growing up
But there’s nothing we can do,
About what happened in the past
But at least now I can be there for you.

Because no matter what the torment
Or how great the pain,
Let me take upon my shoulder
Your tears as they rain.

Let me help you through your journey
Help me to understand.
I will be right by your side
I am here to hold your hand.

I want to get to know you.
Not who you think you are.
I want to get to know YOU
The person behind the scar.

Don’t let the people in our lives
Become speed bumps in your road.
Just keep driving lil sis
Unburden your heavy load.

Don’t let the past shape your life
Your future is yours to take.
Don’t listen to those who say they love you.
When you know their words are fake.

Trust your judgement and your heart
Listen to what they have to say.
And know that you are growing stronger
Every single day.

You are courageous and so strong
Don’t give up your fighting spirit.
Hold your head up proud
And know this world is better because you’re in it.

I love you. Xo
