We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.

I sometimes think
About you and me.
You are my brother
And I, your sister.
You are my elder
And I, your younger.
You are Aqeel,
I am Ayaana.
When I spill tears,
You sop them up
Like the bread
In my pea soup.
When I am sad,
You turn my frowns
Upside-down.
When I am filthy,
You scrub me clean.
When I fall,
You are always the one
To kiss the boo-boos away.
When there is no one,
You are the only one.
When I need you,
I know you’ll be there,
Right beside me.
