Little Sis

Times of joy and happiness,
Aren't a family's true test
Times of pain and suffering,
Show the true colors the best.

A victim of violence,
Family should have rushed in.
Knowing it takes time and support
For a person to mend

Ten years down the road
And still my family doesn't see
How what happened years ago
Took a toll on me

Little sister is asking me
Be who I was before that day
Is she really that oblivious?
I was insulted I must say.

I've had to go my separate way
Before I destroyed what there is.
My family just can't seem to understand
Including my little sis.
