I've always admired my sister
Sixteen years my elder, I only saw her sometimes
I always admired her because she was brave
Strong
A fighter
She was, and is, always more than me
Braver
Stronger
Faster
Older
Wiser
I never resented her
I knew she was stronger than me, braver
She stood up to my father
All I can do is cower like a little kid
She cut him off
All I can do is make excuses
She did it better
All I can do is follow in her footsteps
And fight the same fight
Sometimes I feel like I'm just the after affects to her glory
But that's ok because my family is all I need.
