Brother Worry

Brother worry,
Sister rain,
Mother darkness,
Father pain.

You can pick your friends,
But not your family,
How did this begin?
Handed down to me.

When will the sun return?
Looking for the light,
Hanging on,
Until my world is right.

Searching for relief,
How did my darkness start?
The day you left me,
And broke my heart.
