True Colors

So, today I went to my sister's Myspace page. Something that I haven't done in about a month or more. I don't know why I do it to myself, I really don't. What am I thinking I will find there? What do I think I will gain from going? I can't tell you how many times I've tried to log on as her to delete the damn thing - but it is still there. Do I think I will find answers there? Does it make me feel like she is still here, just away somewhere? I don't know.
As I sat there today and watched her pictures flash by me, "True Colors" blaring in my ears, I couldn't even look at her. I mean, of course I looked at her, but I was almost making myself NOT focus on her - almost like I was looking 'through' her.
I think I know my sister's 'true colors' now. Maybe she never was really cut out for this world. Maybe the world as we know it, just wasn't a good enough place for her to exist. I've spend a lot of my time being angry and frustrated with her over the last year - I will not deny the fact that I don't think anyone could annoy me the way that she could. But lovely - she was so damn lovely! Even though she was being swallowed alive, by a world of uncertainties and depression - she was always so lovely. So.Real.
She was real. Even in all of her 'over-the-topness' she was so the real deal. Maybe even more so than me!
I love her so much, and she is an inspiration to me - to be more real.
Damnit - I miss her so much and damnit - I am going to start letting MY true colors shine through - for her!
...as soon as I figure out what they are
