Dear Little Sister

Dear Little Sister,

Brush away your confetti tears,
Wipe away your pain,
You can still save yourself,
Try and let me explain.

It's too late for me to restart,
I already ruined my life,
I fell so far down the rabbit hole,
I can't take this strife.

But you, you're the good one,
Don't mess up like me,
You don't want these thoughts,
I just hope that you can see.

See that this isn't what you want,
Don't follow your big sis,
Don't act out in class or at home,
You just don't want this.

Mom and dad will stop fighting,
And things will get better,
But I can't be there when it happens,
That's why I wrote this letter.

I'm just trying to explain it all,
Please don't cry for me,
I love you so much little sister,
And now, I am free.

And I know we fought a lot,
But you're my baby sis
And I don't even understand,
Why I'm about to do this.

Try to take care of yourself,
Be strong for me okay,
Don't let people put you down,
Don't listen to what they say.

I don't ever want to hurt you,
Or ever make you cry,
And I'm so, so sorry baby girl,
This is our last good-bye.
