Sibling Rivalry / Love
No One Like You
No single person will ever scare me,
For I have lived
Through the event called 'you'.
No single person will I ever hate,
Because sometimes,
You're too much to take!
No single person will ever make me cry,
In such a way,
That only you know how to do.
No, only you can make me cringe,
At the sound of your voice,
I'm ready, out the door.
No single person will ever know,
The secrets that you do,
Because I was to embarrassed to ask,
Anyone but you.
No single person will understand,
My style,
Which is just as weird as you!
No one will ever have
The love I have for you,
or the love you have for me.
Because, sister,
You who protects me,
Torments me,
Taught me,
Loves me...
No one is like you.
No single person will ever scare me,
For I have lived
Through the event called 'you'.

or the love you have for me.

You who protects me,
Torments me,
Taught me,
Loves me...
No one is like you.

FINALLY HAPPY I WAS AN ONLY CHILD
My husband has two brothers
One cruel and one kind
The cruel one tried to kill his wife
The kind one is not around
The cruel one shot robins, let cats starve
The kind one is a family man
Helps my husband when he can
Too bad he lives so far away
Too bad there is no one left nearby
Who can be called "brother" in time of need
I am an only child, longed for a sibling
Came to terms with sibling rivalry
When others offered me their sister or brother
When they grew up to find
The term sibling can be only in the mind
Pressure is on to be as good
As the best of the best in your brood
Being number two or three
Is living in someone else's territory
My cousin Randy and her sister Sue
Have been in competition with each other
For their entire lives
Sue lives in a castle
Randy finally caught up
They gossip about each other
The one-up it never stops
Seeing this truth
About sisters and brothers
I have now come to accept my fate
As being perhaps better than the others.
Sisterhood on the Back of a Bicycle
Propel it into Heaven loudly
with the trafficking of what we dreamed.
Brazen bikes, built with base born steerings;
we tried to ride Sun, Moon, and Star trails
turning them cyclic.
Youth's face is length, and breadth to me.
Air strewn from you, and I, a tandem
of Elysium comet ribbons
young girl's fingers dance between
and it seems those rare crosscuts
were always yellow, and orange
like a new morning.
Propel it into Heaven loudly
with a joyous revolution.
(Not that it doesn't know the way)
Moments when we lead the pink, and green
winding dash, silver-dusted spokes of shine
in noonday light;
where we believed
that the path was clear, bright
bouncing ringlets like my hair, and I
brought up the rear
as if it were a position of glory.
There are many wheels
within this story. But for now
I will propel it into Heaven loudly.
Baskets full of loop de loops
that only we could rhythm-
our chain of events, our sparks golden
and I recall your hand upon my back
guiding me till I flew alone.
Propel it into Heaven loudly
with the trafficking of what we dreamed.

Sisters
Even in your lowest moment
There's always someone you can turn to
Not your boyfriend, your sister
She'll never judge
And tell you when you're being stupid
Even when it hurts
But she'll always be there
To hold your hand when you feel like crying
To tell you it's alright
She'll be the one thats by your side
Telling you you're beautiful
Reminding that "boys suck"
Don't forget she's always there
Even when you want your space
You'll always love your sister
Even in your lowest moment
There's always someone you can turn to
Not your boyfriend, your sister
She'll never judge
And tell you when you're being stupid
Even when it hurts
But she'll always be there
To hold your hand when you feel like crying
To tell you it's alright
She'll be the one thats by your side
Telling you you're beautiful
Reminding that "boys suck"
Don't forget she's always there
Even when you want your space
You'll always love your sister
Little Brother
They run and tattle
When you make a mistake
Oppose you in every battle
Call you out when your fake
They drive you crazy
With their obnoxious "fun"
Their useless and lazy
When chores must be done
Nine times out of ten
Parents will side with them
They alway seem to win
Every arguement you are in
That pesky little Brother
Who drives you up the wall
Defends you like no other
When "friends" will watch you fall
They run and tattle
When you make a mistake
Oppose you in every battle
Call you out when your fake
They drive you crazy
With their obnoxious "fun"
Their useless and lazy
When chores must be done
Nine times out of ten
Parents will side with them
They alway seem to win
Every arguement you are in
That pesky little Brother
Who drives you up the wall
Defends you like no other
When "friends" will watch you fall
Corey's Poem
Why I ever thought
You'd be the brother you claimed to be
I still don't even know
You promised me you'd be there
Promised to make up for all you missed
Too bad you're just like him
He left us both, and you left me
Couldn't even get clean
Long enough to make probation
Now your locked up
Again
You bailed on me
When I needed you the most
I'll never forgive you
Don't think you can come back into my life
After the way you just took off
No call
Nothing
Finding out you were locked away,
From your MOM
The day you get out
I promise I won't be there
I don't want anything to do with you anymore
You don't exist to me.
Good bye Corey.
Some brother you are.
