She's My Sister

When I was young I envied my sister
She was the pretty one
the one everyone pined after
The older, cooler one

I was chubby 
and pimpled 
I never made a guy swoon 
I hated our differences 
But now it's something 
that I embrace 

I'm an an adult now
and yes my sister still 
is the envy of everyone
but not me.
When I am around her now
all I ever feel is proud.

She is glorious
Beautiful on the inside and out
and I love her so much.
I think it took me growing 
up to finally figure out.

That she loved me fat or small.
If I had a lot or if didn't have anything at all.
She was always there.
When I was happy or scared.

Now people say I look just like her
and I smile not because it's a compliment. 
But if people can see in me what I see in her
Than my heart must be big also.
