Nothing Less And Nothing More

i wish i could forget
the times you said i was
never good enough

you wished that i was dead
buried deep in the grounds
of a different world

you were my sister

aren't bigger sisters
supposed to stick up for you
and love you no matter what?

mine doesn't

she broke me down
with harmful words
and abusive ways

she
hits,
scratches,
punches,
and scars
my body as it tries
to break free
all from misery

i blame her not for the
scars that lay beneath my
clothing nothing less
and nothing more

i may be the abused
i may be the beaten
but underneath it all
im still myself

nothing less and
nothing more
