The better you feel about yourself the less you have to knock others down.<br /> Everything happens for a reason.<br /> We want to be remembered.

No sister of mine,
that's what they say.
Not me,

So why me?

I didn't turn away,
you did.
You're always the one who does,

So why me?

I didn't know what
was going on when
I was younger,

So why me?

I learned what
was going on when
I got older,

So why me?

I turner my cheek,
I helped help you,
I learned to love you,

again.

So.
Why.
Me?
