The courage
The anxiety the worry the worst feeling your heart you can ever imagine. Wanting to purge my heart taking out all the bad feelings I still had to fake a smile. Looking at her in her soon to be death bed (so I thought) wishing every second that she will awake and open her big brown eyes. Mad at her I was for a while, how could she be so selfish and just try to leave us with this pain that we can not abide? Mad at the situations life gave her, depressed as she was I still got to see that smile once in a while.
Tears she shed were of mixed bad feelings she would get towards her dad. The man she would wish for to be her dad never walked through that door everyday at 7pm, instead it was a man who came from work and just started yelling and getting mad for the smallest reasons. How sad that your own daughter doesn’t even want you to be home for being the big ugly oger she has to see every day.
That night my parents thought my sister tried taking her life away for a little reason. But they don’t probably think that a lot of those little things piled up in her and that little last thing made her explode and she had nowhere to turn. Her eyes would just yell out for help. Her way of thinking actually scared her after taking pills hoping she would get the attention she would always wish for. As she was being put in the ambulance her words to me were "Crystal I am sorry but I love you" those words broke my heart and I would blame myself for a lot of things especially that incident.
I had to find my courage by myself for four people (including myself) everyday and I think it will be for everyday of my life because if I ever would break down my little brother, my little sister, and my mother would be devastated. Amazing as it sounds my smaller siblings look up to me a lot, I’m their only way and reason for a smile to be on their face because I am their way out of their devastation even if I am living through it too.
I am thankful she is alive and I get to hug her as I please. Though the problems are still there she has learned the lesson that only god can take your life away when he needs you. As I do she does, we help one another find the courage to go on with everyday life situations and every day we get better at it so my little brother can find the courage that we did and do the same.
Courage is a thing I never imagined to have. In my perspective courage and bravery comes from within it is not something you practice on feeling. Each person has their own moments where they learn how much courage they have. At times one has to find courage whether they want to or not. You can even find courage within somebody as a child to. Courage has saved peoples lives and it’s a great feeling to have.
One may have a lot of problems going on but it takes courage to over come those obstacles. At times there is people who help you get the courage and bravery but most of the time it has to be on your own.

I am :)
I Am
I am worried and scared
I wonder how people could be so crule like that
I hear the screams of different generations in pain
I see the piles of dead bodies
I want to have peace in this world
I am worried and scared
I pretend nothing so painful ever happend
I feel the pain people felt
I touch the tears children would shed
I worry it will happen again
I cry when i see the images painted in my mind
I am worried and scared
I understand things happen for a reason
I say tragedies happen but a smile should never fade away
I dream the world could be at peace
I try to stand up for what I believe in
I hope it wont ever happen again
I am worried and scared
