Shining Through
Standing static
As she does what she has to do
Heart is bleeding
Soul is leaking
Lil sister's insides
No mortally tweaking
Long
Saline outpour
So ready to cry
Yet, not forthcoming
The well is dry
Where'd it go
The innocense she had
The blatant ignorance
In her, made me glad
Yet, the ignorance manifested
Stole innocense from her
How can I stand
And just watch this occur
Big brother wants to act, damn
It's not my choice
I want to cry out
But I have no voice
Difficult times advancing
She needs loved-ones near
But sheltering past necessity
Is my greatest fear
So
Step up lil sister
Past your true age
Step out of the bindings
Leave youth's cage
No longer lil or big
Only sister and brother
Forever with love
Yet, separate from one another
So Long
