My SistersA Poem by JasmeenSlam poetry.
My sister a fan of palmistry,
Told me that my fate is decided... In these little hands all my life secrets resided. My sister a topper in chemistry, Told me I am just a combination of reactions... I stared for hours & hours but could only see imperfections. My sister now a successful nurse, The perfect example of how a girl is an angel to the family & not a curse. Here I am with a swollen heart and a mind that's even worse. A heart that seems to have grown bigger, But only I know how badly it hurts and the urge of puling the trigger. My sister across seven seas & yet ''the best daughter'' Here I am listening to my father how 20 years ago he shouldn't have saved me in my mother's womb from the slaughter. My other sister, a banker working hard, earning well, Here I am consistently making my life hell. "You are not facing anything different from the rest of the world" is the only thing everybody tells, "I can't explain" is the only reply that I can yell. For 15 long years you both protected me & kept me in a fancy shell. One day you both just left & you expected me to do well ?? In this world full of problems, where nobody is truly fine, yet a sweet smile & "I am fine" are the only things that sell. ~jasmeen. © 2018 JasmeenFeatured Review
