Letter To My Brother

I need to Get this off my chest I need to say this This picture won't be perfect, no matter how I display it But I'll try to make it as beautiful as possible I'm going out of my mind, because you've been sectioned and admitted to hospital I wish I could help you, but you're in the best place I lost my dad at 14, yours died 2 weeks ago, I hope your shoulders soon have less weight I hope you talk to the hospital staff, and aren't planning your next escape I hope you realise it doesn't make you less of a man to shed a few tears You were clean from drugs for 14 months and off section for 2 years Before this relapse, but it was to be expected You don't want to speak to anyone, so I can't even send you a message We've never been the closest, but I always hold you dear If you need me, then I'll hold your tears Talk to me, and I'll hold your fears I always hated drugs because of how they made you & our sister turn out Maybe I'm wrong for being this honest and putting them words out But growing up in care, due to my families drug habits, put me off trying them Words on a page is the form I'm crying in I wish I could pull you up, if you need me, grab a hold of my hand I promise to go a full day without mocking you for being a Liverpool fan But that's banter between us, cause I'm a United fan and our teams have a big rivalry I'm only putting this out there, cause I can't speak to you privately Some people have beautiful lives, why does ours have to be a war? I'll die with my pain if it means you can be free from yours You're my brother, why should nurses dictate when and how long I can see you for? Same mum, different dads, but we both love Hip-Hop and football I hope once you figure your own mind out, you'll accept my calls We've never been the closest but that needs to change quick But neither of us have energy because depression drains it I'm bipolar and you're schizophrenic So if we're together people are quick to panic The difference is I'm the better looking one Sorry, I'm just having a little fun Trying to bring a little humour to a hard time I hope you find some light for your dark mind We're not the closest, but I'm rooting for you I hope you make it I'm sorry because I had to say this The picture isn't beautiful, but it can be depending on how you display it
