'Same Mistake' Poem by GloriaC Gonzales

For, you are my sister.
At this time you may think, I am not here for you.
Still no excuse to be walking out on those crazy streets.
No need to warn you. You seen.
All of my mistakes.
Obvious, I was not happy
Used and abused, I was beat!
Please forgive me, for not being there for those couple
of years.
No one new,
where I had gone..
I cried, I wished, I wounded for too long.
I was stuck in a life of my own.
Also had I, been up for a couple of days.
No water, No hunger for food.
With love I could not say a thing.
To be the sister that you look up too.
I had to make a change...
Open your eyes,
As wide as they already are.
How can you make me feel guilty.
I never wanted you to see...
The bruises that left scars.
I would never want this for you.
Instead you took it upon yourself
