for my little sis

don’t go down that path

at the end of the day i want your smile to be genuine

and your heart to laugh

i want u to wake up

and crave more of life

not to feel all of the burdens and guilt

that accompany the trife

i pray that u find happiness and delight

in the wondrousness of the light

Jesus brought to this world

and i dont want u to have to fight

the feelings of pain and sadness

even though u might

have to feel the madness

that heartbreak and failure bring

but in spite

of all the downs, i want ur life to be full of ups

i won’t always be right

but i want to keep people from doing u wrong

i know so much happens out of my sight

but i want to prepare u for all of lifes possibilities

bc while I’m always gonna worry about u

i want to make sure u can handle the hostilities

that the world will throw at u

all the guys, the drugs, the lies

the cheating, the cries

being used as a prize

and getting high to disguise

all of the pain, the feelings, the blame

that arise when u allow yourself to compromise

i know sometimes u think i treat u like ur 5

but I’ve just seen so much destruction

from behind beautiful eyes

and i see u falling for the seduction

of the devils spies

i wish i could protect u from everything bad

but i kno i cant

and i kno u think I’m being hypocritical when i freak and get sad

but i aint

our nature is the same

so trust me i understand

but i learned i was my own worst enemy

and now i gotta take a stand

for my little sis
