Why are you so angry?

Guest submission from Reece Wright. Edited by A. Ni.

“Little sister,” he said, “Why are you so angry?”

Because you’re never here anymore

Because I’m jealous of your happiness

Because you no longer call me

Because you no longer answer my texts

Because now you have a family and I’m not in it

Because you always come back like nothing happened

Because I’m not allowed to do what you are

Because I’m still a child in your eyes

Because I’m still young and you’re not

Because you forgot my birthday

Because you have no limits

Because you pretend I don’t exist

Because I miss having a sibling

Because you’re a liar

Because I hate you

Because I love you

Because you’ve stopped loving me.
