the backyard and pool
this where they were on fourth of July
the hospital and ICU
this is where i was on fourth of July
Red, white, and blue
the colors they saw
beige, white, and blandness
the colors i saw
boom, crackle, boom, crackle
this is what they heard on the fourth of July
beep, beep, beep, beep
this is what i heard on the fourth of July
Fireworks, barbecue
this is what they did on fourth of July
IVs and finger pricks
this is what i did on the fourth of July
They felt like the American flag
Happy and free
i felt like a pincushion
picked and poked at
They Celebrated Independence
while i lost mine
my Fourth of July
sister, sister
There is someone i love so much
shes warm hearted
who is very close to me
someone who is kind and sweet
and thoughtful as she
who is there when i need her
through good times and bad
who is there when i need to laugh or cry
He's as wise as an owl
as tough as concrete
is Loving like a mother
is sweet like sugar
as brave as a lion
we have spent our lives together
ups and downs only a few
always standing up for me
as i stand up for her
the bestfriend i ever had
you’re older and stronger
Taller, smarter
shes my sister
So thank you sister
im only 13
689 my life changed
689 i thought i was going to die
Im only 13...
I want to be free
I want to have fun
I want to be independent
I want to be a regular girl
Im only 13…
Everyday i check my sugar
I feel like a pincushion
Everyday i count carbs
I Feel restricted
I want to be free
I want to be “normal”
I only want to be 13
