Sisterly Love
I have six older sisters
They are cruel and bully me all the time
The one full of Pride looks down on me
I'm inferior to her
The one full of Envy brags to me
She's better than me
The one full of Wrath yells and beats me
I'm in physical pain because of her
The one full of Sloth belittles my work
She is perfect and I'm not
The one full of Gluttony steals my food
I'm hungry and always starve since I have nothing to eat
The one full of Greed insults me and steals my things
She has everything and I don't
I'm full of Lust, yet no one loves me
So I sit alone and weep with no one to comfort me
Nobody loves me
…
I have seven friends
The one full of Pride is glad to be my friend
I am proud of her and the others for all they've done for me
The one full of Envy is glad to have me as a friend
I am envious of her for having a family
The one full of Wrath is happy I'm her friend
I'm angry at myself for what I've done to her and the others
The one full of Sloth thinks I'm the perfect friend
I'm idle when we're not working
The one full of Gluttony knows I'm a rather delicious friend
I've grown full from having a circle of companions
The one full of Greed is my best friend
I've always wanted friends and now I have them
The one full of Lust would like to be my friend
I would love it if she joins me
Her sisters think otherwise
…
I'm lying on my bed
Crying because my sisters have hurt me
I didn't deserve it
My body is covered in bruises and welts
From their constant beatings
My mind is in shambles and is lost
From their continuous insults
My feelings are broken and shattered
From their offensive mocking
My heart has broken into pieces
From their abusive conduct towards me
They don't love me
Nobody loves me
…
I've entered her room
And see her crying
Her sisters despise her
They won't include her
Preferring to exclude her
They won't acknowledge her
Preferring to ignore her
They won't let her have me
Preferring to keep me all to themselves
I've always shielded her from their cruelty
Now they've all gone too far this time
It's time I pulled her out of that abusive family
…
My master comforts me
She sits on my bed and embraces me in a hug
Offering tender words to soothe me as I cry
Out of understanding for my predicament
For the same thing has happened to her
My sisters understand her feelings
To her they're not like those other girls who have hurt my master
My sisters don't understand my feelings
To me they're like those other girls who have hurt my master
I still cry as I wish for freedom
I don't want them be to my sisters anymore
…
We two are now happy
I've been saved from my heartless family
I've adopted her from her abusive family
She's now my new big sister
She's now my new little sister
The six of them complained about us together
Their backlash falls on deaf ears and means nothing to us
They are all silenced by my authority
They all no longer hurt me now that she's given the command
She will stay with me when they go
I shall remain with her when they go
I'm her big sister
I'm her little sister
Together we are a family
Together we are sisters
We love one another as sisters
The bond we formed is unbreakable
Our love is special
Our love is Sisterly Love
…
I've been mulling over whether I should continue working on Sisterly Love or not for a long time. Another option was to reboot it and start over with a new concept. In the end, I decided to convert the story into a poem about the sisterly bond Ange and Asmodeus share. I may still write that reboot at some point, but I'm not sure if that'll be possible with so many other projects that I'd like to begin and continue. Only time will tell.
