Mine! (Shakespearean Sonnet)


Mine!
For as long as I can even recall,
Sharing my home, my toys and my parents.
All through toddler, teen and adolescents.
This has happened since I began to crawl.

Sharing, caring that rule does not apply,
I don't want to share my parents they're mine!
I don't want a sister, they always whine.
I want my old life back right now, goodbye.

My mom sings to her at bedtime, my song.
She is fun to play with and is my age.
Like a sister, we laugh sing and engage.
Maybe... we are starting to get along.

Years have gone by, I don't want her to go
My world erupts, she's my sister, you know.
