My Bestfriend & Sister Poem by Shastina McElmurry

She sits there crying her eyes out all night.
The step dad that beats her and a mother that doesnt try.
A father who walked out on her at a very young age.
She tried everything to ease her pain.
She is lost with no one to call a friend.
So she picks up the razor and cuts her veins.
She leaves the life she once had to look for another.
Arrives in a new place to discover someone just like her.
Bestfriends they promise as they talk about what they have been through.
To very broken girls finding hope in eachother.
Time goes by as they grow closer more with every scar from the past.
Dropped the razor for something more like love within a bestfriend and a SISTER<3
