What My Brothers Feel

I finally old enough to know how my brother’s feel Not totally true, but some what a point of view I sat down with one of them longtime ago Not long ago, a few years back to talk about our history This brother said, I did what I could do then and that is all Our history is so unclear, why is that my brother? He said, something that shook my memory About a nightmare I had, I did remember it because It was emotional an almost death When we were young we had to fallow what everyone said With no questions or rebelling emotions can be dead This tells me that it was off limits to talk to my brother But it went on; he told me that we were force by the government He said brother, did you know we were kept in a hut with doors shut Did you know that we were taken away from our father? I was 6 ½ old from the age of 2 ½ I can remember a lot My brother said that he loved us so much, why would dad give us up Dad asked me do you want to stay with me, brother said yes We had an older brother who was able to climb out of the window And ran away to find our dad that day, Dad knew where he was My brother also said that we were secluded away from everyone My mind race with fear, cause my nightmare I was having came near The sorrows that I felt is no lie, it was so, so, so real Made me angry and upset, but I calmed down my inner self My brother also wondered about the papers that was for our adoption No clear information, accept we just was given to our adopted parents Also government needed money, so thousands of dollars there is a lot Back to my feelings of rage with the feelings that my older brother has When he told me that we should have been a US citizen right away We were not citizens right away when we were adopted It was already passed eight years, that does not sound right he’s says I became so unraveled, I became so, so outrage in my mind My sorrows is because of all the information not so guided My brother’s rage in side is not because it was money, nor the adoption It was because he had lost the family bond he had, and still looking Even when his kin’s are around, it still missing, the family bond He wants it back just like the lost emotions that I have since I was little The bond of family is strong, the blood ties are strong But to me the fear that he has, has settled, settled so he doesn't know Live in the present I was told, Live in the present he told me When in reality he’s the same as me, and my other brother you see
