A poem for my sister
Posted: 28 May 2023, 10:54
I remember when there was a time where I would look up to you
But then you starting making the wrong choices
And everyone always got the excuses
It’s not that bad I can stop if I want to
But now look at you
Strung out whole family don’t even notice it’s you
Lost your kids, your house, everything that made me look up to you
Now I guess it time to get ready for the funeral
Who’s funeral you ask?
The coffin will be holding you.
And don’t worry I won’t cry, I won’t shed no tears
Because through it all , I told you I’d be right here
helping you fight your demons and conquering your fears
But it’s like every time I brought up helping you by getting you into a rehab
You had excuses and they tickled me made me laugh
Cause how can you acknowledge it’s that bad
And in the same breath not help yourself get back
Back to the you, you used to be before the drugs changed you
Back to the mom that your kids used to look up too
sh*t back to the sister I wanted to be just like you
But you know what youre right
Maybe these drugs do help you through the sleepless nights
But one day, I know you’re going to be the one that I’m going to have to bury without a fellow addict in sight
I’ll miss you when it happens, but don’t worry I’ll hug your kids tight
But then you starting making the wrong choices
And everyone always got the excuses
It’s not that bad I can stop if I want to
But now look at you
Strung out whole family don’t even notice it’s you
Lost your kids, your house, everything that made me look up to you
Now I guess it time to get ready for the funeral
Who’s funeral you ask?
The coffin will be holding you.
And don’t worry I won’t cry, I won’t shed no tears
Because through it all , I told you I’d be right here
helping you fight your demons and conquering your fears
But it’s like every time I brought up helping you by getting you into a rehab
You had excuses and they tickled me made me laugh
Cause how can you acknowledge it’s that bad
And in the same breath not help yourself get back
Back to the you, you used to be before the drugs changed you
Back to the mom that your kids used to look up too
sh*t back to the sister I wanted to be just like you
But you know what youre right
Maybe these drugs do help you through the sleepless nights
But one day, I know you’re going to be the one that I’m going to have to bury without a fellow addict in sight
I’ll miss you when it happens, but don’t worry I’ll hug your kids tight
