Why? ...For My Baby Sis! Poem by Shaakiera Schroeder

Why is it that when you are angered I feel the rage inside myself,
When you hurt my heart feels as if its literally breaking,
When tears cloud your eyes and stream down your face it burns trails down my cheeks,
Why is it that when you are upset, disrespected or harmed in any way I lose all perspective, logic and reason disappears as if it never existed in me? Blind rage takes over and I become an animal with one goal and that's to defend, protect and yes even destroy whoever the person is who dared to make u cry! Our souls are connected like twins we are always mistaken for...I feel your pain...and its devastating that you Cannot share it contiously with me! Its my own fault because I care too deeply I come across as judgemental or too overbearing! I do not know all the answers and I may not even be able to fix whatevers broken..but I can listen..and wipe your tears! I can be there and let you know that I will be your strength when you are weak..or your voice when u cannot speak! I will not allow you to fall..because if you do...I will go down with you. When you are happy my heart smiles and my soul is as light as a feather! I pray for you..for courage, happiness and most importantly your peace...why is it that whatever affects you affects me too...because you are my sister..we are born from the same womb and that's why I know you stronger than you realise you just haven't tapped into it! We share the same blood...why I ask...because you are apart of me and I'm apart of you...you are a fighter...so fight...fight to live and to live happily because you fighting for my happiness to...and we both deserve the best of this world! We survived the worst...everything else is a piece of cake...together we will thrive I promise you! ! Just hold on...Allah is working miracles in your life...all you have to do is...believe!

With love Always!
