Hopeful

I see my little sister
And the things she's doing now
And I want to warn her
But I don't know how

I see the path she's walking down
It's the one I'm still stuck on
But she's not listening to me
Just like i wouldn't listen to my mom

I found a razor in her room
And she's started with the lying
I've even read the poems
And how she thinks about dying

I see her sneaking out
And she's started with the drinking
She's talks about sex
I know exactly what she's thinking

"No one notices me
But I'll do whatever it takes
Being born
Was my biggest mistake"

I know it all to well
But she's as stubborn as me
She's not going to listen
To anybody

And I feel like such a failure
What kind of example have I been
Pills and cutting
Sex with different men

She thinks I'm so happy
Being this way
I wish she could see the truth
But it's so hard for me say

Pregnancy, Rape, Psych Ward
Drugs, drinking, and sex
Jail, depression, cutting
Who knows what's next

I wish she she would open her eyes
So she could just see
All of the things
That has happened to me

And i guess I'm writing this
And hope that it helps someone else
Maybe stop them
From hurting themselves

Before it's too late
Listen to what people have to say
You never know..
It could save your life one day
