Arvella from Adolescence Anonymous by Zalea

young girl, dry your eyes you're a solider
don't ever think you're weak, or listen to what them boys told ya
you are a goddess, a living inspiration
but ya haven't been the same since you been taking medication
It's been 6 months and I'm wondering how you been?
last time I had seen you, you was looking pretty thin
still got the beauty of a sunrise but the lights fading
started thinking you're too far past saving
I try to hate you, but my heart, it just ain't with it
I remember all the good times, when we dancing in the kitchen
back and fourth, we constant bitching
till you was put up in the system
then right before my eyes, I'm forced to witness your demise
that shit really heavily affected me
I'd be lying if I said, I never let it get to me
I'm not taking drugs, don't pressure me
I'll turn it down, respectfully
then go home, light some green and I'll bathe in my hypocrisy
headed to arvella avenue, aint no stopping me
my mission is simple: peace for the children
no child on this earth deserves to grow up in a whirlwind
no child on this earth deserves to feel like a burden
I know your faults stem from the fact you're hurting
I wish you told us sooner, instead of keeping it behind the curtain
you're more than your mistakes, you're way more than worth it
even though you don't see it, to me you've always been perfect
on the cold cold cold nights
I hope you're keeping warm
I wish you were here
you're my perfect storm
it breaks my heart to see the life your living, be your norm
everything you are is everything that I was warned
not to be, but honestly you're all I really want to be, on my mind so constantly, I'd trade lives with you undoubtedly
my mind is so confoundedly
lost without your insanity
opposite attract, I think you're really what's grounded me
to sum this up, sis I really really miss ya
I'm tryna not to cry, as i'm looking at your picture
wishing I could hug ya and wishing I could kiss ya
happy 23rd birthday to my sister
