My inspiration…
a sister with many mistakes.

Teen pregnancy,
a lost baby,
world went upside down,
changed life around.

Her struggles show me
what “being strong” means.

Only 21,
yet knows more than most.
I’ve hurt her with my words.
“I hate you,” I say.
I see her eyes turn red.

I think after…
I know I appreciate her.
I must show her,
I must prove to her –

She is my inspiration.
