Dear Sister

I sometimes sit and wonder.

Gaze into the distance as if that will give me answers,

Answers to the questions that are constantly in turmoil in my mind.

I ask myself when will your ignorance finally end,

When will the hands of time finally turn and be in your favour,

When will you realize that your actions

Are slowly leading to the decay of all things I truly love and adore.

Dear sister answer me this

When will you stand and rise to your senses

And know your actions are killing me inside,

That I sit and cry myself to sleep at night

Because I am tired of thinking that day by day

That your actions will lead to the death

The death of all the things I hold precious and true.

Answer me this,

When will you wake up and realize that time waits for no one

And that while you chase joy day and night,

There are people dying to see you chase success

But your mind is fixed

Fixed on things that will never amount to your growth

But lead to your destruction.

And that along the way,

You are dragging those that love you into early graves

Or to the realization that loving you is too painful

And that it is better to let you go

While they watch you like a train

Thundering to your own destruction.

They stand and watch you derail from the path

A path that would see you become something more than this.

Dear sister as I slowly gaze at the ceiling,

I am filled with tears

From knowing that your destiny and the course you have chosen

Will lead to the decay of all that I love

Including you.
