"You can hurt me with the truth, but don't comfort me with your lies."

Three roses, two thorns, one garden.
We live with each other yet, we fight one another.
We argue all day about the stupidest mistakes.
We're the dog, the cat and the mouse.

We can't live with each other, but we can't live without.
We try to make it perfect, but it all turns around.
As if we were born to hurt one anther.
But deep down, beyond our hell.
Lies the ordinary truths.
Maybe just maybe that's what sisters are all about.

→I'd love to show them but I bet the moment I did they would jump me, just kidding. Hard to believe but I'm getting along way better than before :)

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

I like how you kind of showed your true feelings about your sisters but you kept it real with the fighting. I hate to say that I cannot relate to this poem, although I have two sisters, it's not like that. I think you should show your sisters this!!!
