Being strong

A dedication to my sister, May she know that I love her always

There she goes again
Their taking her away
I'm being strong and smiling
But hoping that she'd stay
My mom and her both ,short tempered
Their petty little fights
She feels as if we just dont care
On these cold and lonesome nights
I can't help but cry
I need her to be strong
But everytime she leaves
I'm forced to prove myself wrong.
This family thats fallen apart
Just can't help but hurt me inside
This "perfect" family everyone knows
Is just a figment made by pride.

My thoughts are not enough
They can't make her stay
And no matter how much i try
I just can't find a way.
She feels imprisoned here
in this house thats not a home
She just needs to get away
From this here torture dome.
Another family shes adopted
She says shes happier there
Those words just bruise and hurt me
My eyes can't help but tear .

If i could, i'd fix it
This broken home we share
But i keep failing when I try
Because no one seems to care
Everyone's so selfish
They think their all so right
It doesn't matter what happens to the rest of us
As long as they don't lose this fight
I wish i could help her through it all
And I'm sorry that i can't,
I pray to the Lord that It'd be better
This one thing I wish he'd grant.
I envy this new family
I'm giving all i can,
But thats never enough
Since shes fallen into their plan
And there she goes again
Slowly walking away
I'm reaching out toward her
Just hoping she'd stay.
