Although I don’t know what it’s like to have a sister, being an only child, I know very well what it’s like to want to protect a loved one. You would spare them from any pain, and if they’re suffering, you would suffer for them if you could.
Thank you very much for the comment on my poetry page! 🙂

i wrote this when i was “recovering” and was practically idolized by my little sister. The struggle to hide my scars from past mistakes was almost as hard as not making those mistakes again. i was terrified she’d find out what i had been through and that she would think less of me because of it. i wrote another poem to go hand-in-hand with this one, about hiding bruises and abuse, but i cant find it anywhere.
but this december it will be 5 years since my last relapse, so i must be doing something right 🙂

Speaks strongly about how we will go to any lengths to protect a loved one but won’t protect our own selves from harm…
Very powerful message here in this little poem.
