We were never really sisters
You don't know what that word means
We were born in the same blood line
But all we share are genes
-
The definition of sisterhood
can be easily confused
It doesn't run away when things are hard
but it doesn't stay to be abused
-
Sisterhood means sticking beside you
It's making sure that you're okay
It's not just saying what you wanna hear
and always giving you your way
-
Sisterhood is cheering each other on
It's saying, "I'm proud of how much you've grown."
It's saying, "I'm here to listen to you."
"You don't have to be alone."
-
It's giving you the solid advice
You may not want to hear
It's holding tight to each other's hands
while you conquer every fear
-
It's sometimes not speaking to each other
but always standing up
It's sharing some of what you have
to give her an overflowing cup
-
It sticks around on the hard days
When you're crying on the ground
It's saying, "Even though you made me mad,
I'll always want you around."
-
Sisterhood is happy tears
when you accomplish something great
Sisterhood should always be there
It shouldn't always make you wait
-
Both of you have robbed me
for the contents in my cup
You've only wanted me around
So that I can lift you up
-
You take and take and take
Until there's nothing left to give
You'd cry on Facebook if I died
but you're absent while I live
-
So, tell me, Sisters, does that sound
like sisterhood to you?
You've built your entire lives on lies...
Is there anything that's true?
-
So, tell the world that I'm the bad guy
Tell them I'm the one to blame
Go hide behind your bible quotes
So the world can't see your shame
-
I won't pretend that I am God
I don't sit high enough to judge
But show me in the bible
where it says to hold onto your grudge
-
Sisterhood cannot be broken
Even if it sometimes bends
but we were never really sisters
We were never even friends.

Fantastic writing Sara! Hugs 2 u my friend!
This is so relatable @Sara Wilson
"You take and take and take Until there's nothing left to give You'd cry on Facebook if I died but you're absent while I live" This stanza was especially sad 🥺🥺 Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
reminds me of "someone" I know. how I wish those words weren't true but they were and still are. Thank you for sharing this. I know there are others out there who feel the same way. Awesome how you managed to put those feelings into a poem. GREAT writing.
That last line really stung, "We were never even friends." You never really think of siblings as friends, sometimes because they are much more than that, sometimes because they were never even that at all. I'm sorry for the inspiration that I am sure went into this, but I hope that you gained some catharsis by writing it.
