My Brother: Conscience; Sister: Subconscience

Out into the open,
gone an, cast away from thee.
Living the life I'm living,
needing to be: a chance to be.
Who's always understood me not,
feeling the price I pay.
I wander through the maze;
ever hindered by the day.
Oh, once you had your daydreams,
and to me-seemed to entwine...
All was left so unseasoned,
our lives never seemed to ryhme.
Life was always with you,
and also without.
Cold-battering flights of bold,
you dispatched me so full of doubt.
Now, all but so, disconcerting;
and sometimes, ever so clear.
I alone walk the egde of childhood,
seeking, needing, for you to be near.
