my dear sister
you are always hidden
but in this family thats the safest way to go
if you never show your feelings you never get hurt
but my dear sister
i understand more than you will ever know
i have been there
i went through it
my dear sister we are nothing alike
but in some way we are so much alike
you look nothing like me
you act nothing like me
but we are one of the same
you never show who you are
yet i hold the magnifying glass over you
always studying you
always trying to get you to open up
i have never been good with puzzles
and you my dear sister are the hardest puzzle of all
one day you will show me you
the real you
not that happy child you always show
the one you really are
and maybe in return i will show you me
not the brave one you always see
not the one who is never afraid
the one who never cries
the one who always knows her path
i will show you me
the scared little girl i always have been
the same one you are
i will be there my dear sister
so never forget
people arent always what they seem...
Author notes
be brave....
heaven, HisAngel, my dear sister

so strange, isn't it. Sisters are right there yet always hidden and hiding.
I really like this write.

This apostrphe poem has very little imagery. It tells instead of shows, but it also captures one sister's feelings for another. Thank you for entering my contest.

This one is particularly touching for me because my little sister is really annoying and I'm sure she thinks I'm the meanest person in the world and that I'm horrible to everyone. I'm really not, but she's so annoying sometimes that it's hard not to be mean to her. Anyway great job - this is wonderful! Good luck!

i really like this, it reminds me a little of what i think my sisters think of me at times because i am a closed book most of the time, best of luck in the contest

I must thank you for the wonderful idea. My sister liked the poem. Actually she cried. I think it was exactly wat she needed, bc when i gave it to her she she she felt alone. Thought you would like to know that you were right. once again thank you.
