My Every Other Sisters' Paradise


(The verses below have been instantly inspired by the song above, and dedicated to all the sisters out there...)

Their dreams left on hold; immortalised 
My every other sister 
Living this life; part paralysed... 

As a child, seeing with eyes opened wide 
My every other sister 
Looking at life now; partly desensitised... 

Walking around with hopes to one day sour out; fly high 
My every other sister 
Gets back up; by yet another fall, temporarily mortified... 

Listening, doing; all as she is expected to do 
My every other sister 
Existing for their sake; has been skillfully mollified... 

Making the best of today; her gift of life 
My every other sister 
In her sleep goes to take a much needed bite of paradise...

Oh wow... it seems like a blast from the past, seeing your name and lovely blue butterfly on my page... Now that you mention it, it does seem like a long time ago. I'm guilty of the same, having barely ventured out to other blogs and their posts. Insha'Allah (God Willing), time allowing, I shall pay a visit to yours too :)

As for that bit getting copyrighted, I'd like to believe that with this post, it did? ;)

Thanks so much for your support and encouragement. Truly appreciate it.

Best wishes~ xxx
