Brother
From the heart and soul of my battered mind and body,
I write these words that have forever been silenced.
Silenced by the very ones whom I would have sacrificed it all for!!!
Now hurt, bitter and scorn
my heart bleeds
as it is ripped and torn...
With very little self esteem left
they continue to nibble away,
But soon I will tire and even give up
for arrangements they shall make some day...
Although I still hang on with a weak slippery grip
that I credit to only one,
For you my brother I can only pray that you shall not forget me
as my Father has done to his son...
Neglected and feeling so rejected
you are just like me,
Our day will come and soon they will regret
As our ashes blow into the Sea...
