Sisterhood
We have been here before
In a different time and place
We find each other like a coin
Opposites but always together.
Soft and hard, light and dark
Opposites always, but balanced
Learning to be more of one mind
Hard lessons learned through time.
Switching, losing time, frustrating
Difficult to make simple decisions
So many choices, never a consensus
Pain is hidden deep within ourselves.
Sharing our differences
Learning our similarities
Constantly surprising ourselves
The bonds drawing us closer.
We each have protectors, warriors,
Care takers, mystics, sleeping dragons,
Prowling cats, slithering snakes,
Web making spiders, and empaths.
Circumstances created us within
We survived by adapting and pretending
Masks always in place, never letting it slip
The facets did their duties when needed.
Banished because they say we are damaged,
A haven is created because we are unique
What we are is extremely talented at coping
The parts becoming closer and uniting.
Sister, Friend, Confidant, & Mentor
Building the foundation took time
Trust has been earned on both sides
Love has flourished and grown.
