I wrote this poem because my sisters, once again, hurt me. I'm a little more sensitive then they, but they don't realize what they say hurts me. I think they should be a little more kind and appreciate their baby sister. Sometimes a kid feels that they need to be perfect in order to live up to their siblings expectations.

Sisters
Why is it that sisters tease?
Can you tell me please?
They always make me cry
with one mean lie.
Why is it me,
They don't like to see?
All I did was love you!
Do you have no respect?
Or is it 'cause you have
to be perfect?

    I just love this poem. In my summer homework, I have to find a poem that represents it, and I found this one. This is how Amy, the youngest os the four, felt. She was left out when her sisters shunned her! I just love this.
  • Brittany

  • gana
    why do sisters hate by the love in our fate. is it because we're young or is it because they think we're stupid in the head. you go through the same nonsense everyday and yet you still love them. how do you feel everytime this happens. they say mean things to prove there cool. as we know sisters could be cruel. they shout and fight with all their might but where this it bring them. Nowhere. we could call them names as in cruela but will that solve anything as we would say" cruelas can be mean and also a pain in the head. we all think they are liers but can save us from harm. they teach us a lesson in life to sore. but nothing happens. we ask ourselves what should we do but must we do something. i know there mean but you should be lucky there your sisters and you should love yours as much as mine. i love my sisters.
  • anna
    hey i just wanna say that ur poem is like WOW i cant even describe how good it was i love it alot and that poem just makes me realise alot about me and my sister who is actually 17 she is a great sister and i can always talk to her but then again at the same time she gets on my nerves and what ur poem says just reminds me of everything between me and my sister. even though we fite and we have our bad daiiz we still have our good daiiz 2 and i can tell her anythin and we r really close but its just sumtimes this kinda happens like we fite coz she wants me 2 do her room but in the enndu can tell and you know from ur heart that its the best 2 have a sister that will always be there 4 u no matta wat happens. thx heaps

  • Jessica
    As i read the poem i kind of understand what it feels like to fite all the time with a sister. My sister is 18 and i am 16. When we were young all we did was fite. Now that she is out of our home fiting was her way to tell me that she loved me. This poem is a 10.
  • stacy
    fab! hats off to you, this is a wonderful poem.

  • natalie

  • Michele
    I like this poem, because I am a foster child, and the home that I lived in "their" daughter is perfect. she gets all the attention. We are in our 50's and still, they don't see me. no matter what I do. thier grandchildren matter most because they are from "their daughter". that is what they told me ever since I came in their home. I cannot give this (whatever I thought I needed) because your NOT our daughter. "she" is. yeah, right! and it is that way to this day. better house, job, car!. she can do no wrong, me. they don't see
  • natasha
    well my sister is a year younger than me and always tries to be cooler and prettier and most of the time she hurts me. sometimes she pinches sometimes she slaps sometimes she punchs and sometimes she bites. so this poem helped me loads most of it at the end cause she always thinks that beening about sisters makes me think sometimes cause some people have worse sisters but mine is ok sometimes thats not ofen. this poem has really helped me thank you Psqahs for making this poem it really tuched me.

    This poem touched me.
  • Kourtney
    I love the poem! It reminds me so much of my life. I am thirteen and I am the younger sister to a twenty-one year old. I love my sister dearly, and we used to get along very well. It seems now that we are just fading apart, and I hate it because all I want is to be her friend, but she can't seem to stop hurting me emotionally. Anyways, your poem relates to me a lot, and I might just use it to reach MY sister!
  • mujina

  • april
    I am a older sister to both my brother and my sister. When i was going through highschool I was very mean and harsh to my brother, but during my senior year i grew up and soon my brother became my best friend. My little sister is 10 years younger so we never fight, but she bickers with my younger brother all the time. Now when i look back on all the mean things i did i regret every single one, and try everytime I am with my brother to make up for it. And soon your sisters will feel the same way, so just know everything is going to be ok someday soon and that nomatter what they will always love you.
  • Shadanae
    This poem was vry nice and intersting it's clear but still unclear and that why I like this poem if i had to rate it from a 1-10 I would give it a 91/2
  • christie
    i like your poem. i am an older sister and it gave me an idea of how my sister feels because she's 8 and iam 13 and i tease her when my friends are over and after i feel very bad. so thank you because you gave me a different point of veiw of teasing.
  • Ruth
    I have an older sister and a younger sister. Atfertrying to figure out our relationships, I think alot af it has to do with the way that the parents treated each sibling and that sometimes results in resentment between sisters. You being the youngest and the "baby" your older sisters may unknowingly resent you taking up their mothers time and affection when you were children. And them being chilren themselves saw you as the problem and try hurting your feelings not realizing why.
  • avril
    i so love your poem im going to use it in my next song. it is so great and listen out for it.
  • Catherine
    Things will be different someday and when they are, it'll be so worth it. My older sister was the same way to me and now that we've grown past that stage of rivalry, I have myself a best friend who will always be there. Hang in there, they'll grow up
  • kori
    Even though you feel like your sisters are always mean and not treating you fairly, they do love you and things always pass over, just hang in there and pray for them.
  • Katie
    Hello! i really liked your poem. i can feel exactly the pain that you are going through with your sisters. my older sister has done nothing to me my whole life but put me down, laugh at my mistakes, and make me feel like nothing. thank you for your poem.
  • Michele
    This poem is short but it's to the point some times sisters be so judgemental and inconsiderate of your feelings. I definitely can relate.
  • Tamara
    This is how my sister treat me cuz i am the littlest but i decided its to hard to speak aloud so i just sent this poem and hopefully it will change their mind about me.its a wonderfull poem
  • margaret
    i like your peom my lil siter does not show any repect to me or our grandmother. i really like you peom
  • julie
    I can only say one thing. Love between sisters is somthing special and it is worth fighting for it. But love also means letting go, and as I see ur sisters to want to live with this special bond of sisterhood. so that u love them(and ur poem shows u do) let them go.
  • Jackie
    Love the poem! Fits right in there with my sisters.I just found people who make better sisters than my own.stick in there
  • Rose
