Girl

Just a girl
No, so much more.
No idea how much she impacts
the lives of others,
bringing happiness and light.

I look at her
I feel like a bomb of emotions about to explode.
Happiness and warmth inside
OR
Frustration and confusion inside,
BUT
I love her smile.

When she looks at me
I get this feeling
like I just ate a whole bag of pop rocks.
Her drawings and paintings
all over the walls
remind me
that no matter how mad or upset I am
at her
I will always love her
and she will always be
my sister.

I can’t imagine how different my life would be
if she wasn’t in it.
She’s my world,
my other half,
she’s my sister.
Never, just a girl.
