Dear Sister,

i'm sorry for what they did to you.

i shouldn't have let them touch you.

you're my sister.

but now you're dead.

they say suicide from the stress of school work and that you did drugs.

but that's wrong, everyone who lives in our town knows.

you died because of them, because i couldn't save you from their hands.

because at the time i didn't think they affected you.

but i know differently now, because you're dead.

and it's my fault.

i might join you soon.

i never realized how much i'd miss you or how bad the guilt would be.

i never realized how much pity i would receive, or how mom would take her life after yours, or how dad would drink until he couldn't stand then come beat me after.

but i don't think you realized that i'd become just like you.

Love,
Your soon to be dead brother
