A poem I wrote when I was really depressed because my brother was in the hospital and diagnosed with clinical depression and ADHD. I really like this one.
I now present to you "You and I" written/last updated on February 9, 1998.
You and I
We look so much alike
Yet we are so different you and I.
I treasure life,
But you wish for death.
I see the positive,
While you seek the negative.
I welcome friends;
You just push them away.
I am your sister,
And you are my brother
But we are so different you and I.
We have the same mother,
And the same father.
Our hairs the same color,
And so are our eyes.
We like the same music,
And the same sort of food.
We both love our dogs,
And Charmers, our horse.
So, why are we so different you and I?
I tell you I love you,
But you never listen.
You say the world hates you,
But it never has.
You have your problems,
And think no one cares.
But I care and I love you.
Does it really matter
That we are so different you and I?
