My Sister

I am scared to think
of you not in my life,
scared to face the reality
that you are having to fight,
I am not ready to imagine
you not being here,
I try so hard
to not give into that fear,

I try to stay strong,
to be positive and brave,
to keep my head afloat
of all these emotions
that continue to rage
inside of my body
and create massive waves
that at times overwhelm me
and cause me to break down
to allow all the sadness
to drag me to the ground.
But I always get up
because I will see you
become strong,
I will picture you healthy
I will picture you well
I envisage your healing
I will see you excel.

Thank you @eco-alex for the light you brought to me today and that helped inspire this poem.

Thank you @d-pend for creating this challenge and allowing me to take the time daily to be creative and expressive. I am really happy to have made it this far.
