Alyssa

Family are the people you have to love,
Even when you can’t stand them.
My sister is the complete opposite of me,
And I still want to be like her,
With everything she does like her good grades in school
Or how nice and outgoing she is.

If she finds that I have worn her clothes,
Or if my messy side of our room,
Starts slowly spilling over into her spotless floor,
It makes our relationship go from good to bad,
Within a split second.

Shopping or music is how we bond,
And it keeps us from fighting for that time.
In August, she will leave for college,
And I don’t know what I will do without her.
