Sister

As she grew older
I was shunned
Maybe that's why
As I grow
I still feel inferior
To her
I'm always so envious
Even as I try
To be me
To create
My own person
I still find myself
Trying to be
Just like her
She's so beautiful
While I so plain
All my life
She's seemed better
Me, the one abused
By our father
And she untouched
How could I possibly
Be as good as her

Author notes

I love my sister so much. She's my best friend, now anyway. Not that I ever hated her. But growing up she didn't seem to like me much. I was the "little sister". And who likes those?

Critical :)

    I plan to revise this poem: please leave constructive criticism!

  • You really shouldn't feel this way. You shouldn't envy your sister when so many love you for who YOU are. I haven't met your sister and I'm sure she's cool, but you shouldn't compare. Esp not when you have the tendency to put yourself of the lower value when you aren't a proper judge.

    You are better than her. Because you became who you are today even though you went through so much. Stay strong!
