"Nikki raised you For a couple of years" "Did a damn good job too!" My grand mother and her sister
My sister was 12 Took care of me for 5 years By then I was just starting school
When she turned 17 Helped me with clothes And hair And chores
Apparently my mom Was in a deep depression And worked graveyard shift At the post office
Slept all day Worked all night Just long enough to get us To school
Rides back from school Were different everyday Had to memorize at least 5 different cars and people
Kind of hard For a 6 year old So Nikki helped me Yet she was the one with dyslexia
She took care of me Until we moved Then her and my other sister, Joee Stuck to their personal lives without me
That was when my moms wife Moved in with us As well as 3 little boys Wasn't that hell
Now as I start high school Nikki has a house Joee an apartment And I am supported when I need it now
It's just after feeling ignored After all these years Nikki is the one Who took care of me
Treated me like her daughter When it wasn't her job In the beginning But mom was just in and out with the world
Sitting here now It seems I'm more Nikki's daughter Than my own mother's
I'm happy I'm more Nikki's Because if I was like my mom I probably would be here right now
Mentally insane, So proven But if she takes her meds She's fine
Same goes for Her depression Her bipolar disorder Her sleep apnea
Miss a pill though All sorts of loopy Nikki did do a damn good job Since mom could barely have one at all
So that's a backround I recently learned About my sister and I Truly something, I'd never expect it.
