Brothers

I saw myself in a mirror, one I was not allowed to see,
when he spoke so loud, I didn't notice that the monster was me.Though i left with good intentions and a clear mind, 
i didn't see the heart that i broke way behind.
I see now that i was wrong and im proud of you, never in my shadow or your own.
i can't protect you now.
please, little brother know i love you and ill stand beside always.
dont leave me in the water you drowned in first.
