Dear, sister


  No need is there to mourn me,
 

For I have been made happy.
 

  You knew nothing of my heed,
 

This was all for my own personal need.
 

  You are the world that is mine,
 

You are precious and divine.
 

  I hope you cherish my words,
 

For you need to have herds,
 

   Of babies and lovers, and live your life,
 

  For you are my only plight.
 

Sister, I thought of you every day that I contemplated my suicide. I thought of how I would miss you and how I needed you to continue going on. Though I knew I needed you, I also knew you could not survive with me in your life. I would have dragged you down; something I am not willing to do. I know you will be saddened by my death, and that is not why I continue to do this anyway. I am in no need of trying to spite you, but trying to save our family from my distraught pain. If I do not end my life, our family will plunder, and that is not something I am willing to do.
 

Love,
 

  Your Sister

This is a completely fictional piece that I've written in order to describe my feelings for my sister, and to show her that I love her very much; even more than myself.

Wow, I'm really glad you like this! I worked very hard on it, and really it expresses my own personal thoughts with my sister, whom I am very close with. I've battled depression for years, and have always wondered if I would fall victim to my depression, and used this to vent. Thank you, I'm really glad this means so much to you, and I'm glad it's given you something to think about. Thank you :)

This was so personal for me. I always think of what my sister would do if something happened to me. We are so close, so this really made me think of her. Thanks for posting and giving me something to think about today. You are a great writer!
