The Worst Dream About My Sister Poem by Shilesha Johnson

I just had by far the worst dream
It’s like I tried so hard but couldn’t manage to scream
I love going to sleep
Because that’s our special place we meet
It’s the only place where I’m allowed to see you
But this dream
It just can’t be true
I miss you more than I would miss life itself
And I would dropp anything and everything if I felt you needed my help
But right now that’s just not possible because I have no clue where you are
The only place I know for sure is right inside of my heart
But how could I get there
No plane
No bus
How can I show I care?
No kiss
No hug
I just want to hold you in my embrace
Never let go and wipe the tears off of your face;
To be in your presence forever
They would have to cut my hand off to keep us from being together
Once I hold you Shilah, I will never let go
And that’s something important that you NEED to know
And I also need for you to understand
That I wasn’t there for you not by choice but as a demand
And if I found out I could see you RIGHT NOW
I’d skip this county championship and be at your house
I’d skip the track meet that I’ve worked so hard for
Because when I compare you to everything in life
You are worth more
It’s like I want to break down and cry
But I know I have to be strong for you
I can’t stop thinking of you know matter how hard I try
And being reunited is all I want to do
My sister is truly my best friend
And even though I’m awake the dream has not come to an end
It keeps replaying in my brain
I can just picture you running to my arms
Saying my name
I miss you my sister and that will never change
And neither will the hurt I have inside my heart consisting of pain
