Allusion Poem

My sister and i used to be best friends

Then one day it came to an end

She shut me out and i didn’t know why

All of a sudden i started to cry

I wondered what i did wrong

Why weren’t we getting along?

I was awkward, feisty and daring

She was cautious, soft spoken and caring

Maybe our differences pulled us apart

The fact that she didn’t want to talk to me broke my heart

As the years went by nothing had changed

Our rooms were so close, yet only few words were exchanged

When it was a perfect sunny day

I would ask if she wanted to go out and play

But she would always tell me no

So eventually i just left her alone

I could feel the bond between us fading

Our relationship was one that needed saving

If i ever wanted things to go back to the way they were

I realized I would have to make the effort for both me and her

I learned that there was so much about her that i didn’t know

I mean, i knew what she liked to do and the places that she liked to go

But who she was on the inside i had no clue

To find out, there was a big wall that I had to get through

She was so set on living her life in isolation

And to change her mind would take great determination

I just wanted her to open up to me

To let me in and to be like how we used to be

I decided to stop trying to change her and to let her be herself

Because although you can’t change other people you can change yourself

A couple years later our relationship got stronger

We were able to hold our conversations for longer

Although it took some time to get where we are

We are finally getting along, so far

A sisterly bond is one that should never be broken

Even though our love for each is other is often unspoken

Nobody is perfect and that’s okay

I wouldn’t want it any other way

We are now closer than we ever were before

All because we don’t focus on our differences anymore
