I sometimes won't be on because of school.
Why am I Still here
Why cant I just go
I cant do anything right
I always make people mad
I always am a constant burden
Why cant I just leave this world
I tell you why
I dont stay because I want to
I stay because of my sister
I stay because of her adopted family
If I go now it'll destroy her
That's why I can't go
Why am I still here?
It's all because my sister needs me
I don't need this foster family as they just see me as a burden
They always go somewhere saying I'm busy
Some days when they leave, I don't even have to go to work
Maybe they want to get as far away from me as they can
I mean, I would to if I was them
Why am I still here?
My sister is the reason
She never left me
She never tries to get as far away from me
That's why I am still here
Just for my sister
Because in this world, it was her and I through the storms we faced through childhood and a little of teenhood.

A sad and tragic poem. We all need to feel loved and cared for and when those that should love us most leave us we have to ask why we are here. There is deep love in this poem for one that is left that still forms part of the identity and image. Self love can only be formed when it grows from the seed of another's love usually a mother or father but sometimes from someone else a sister or brother a lover or friend. Let self love grow everyone deserves to love themself enough that they can share it with others. Lovely write
