Little Big Brother
When he was a child, He threw my belongings out the window
Gazed upon me not knowing, Where I would go
Belt welts for my belongings, He did not know
Sorry my brother, My Highs reached your lows
When I became a teen mom, He embraced my change
Knowing I've always been like a mother, To my Lil Big Brother I reined
When he realized he beat me, He was not naive to see
However his mind was not developed enough, To see it was breaking me
He adapted to my change gradually, Seeing it as the norm
Eventually seeing the sister he once knew, Becoming someone he now mourned
As he grew he pushed harder, Knowing hopes and dreams for him were true
Occasionally falling off track, Doing what he had to do
Graduating first, Meeting the finish line
He knew he made me proud, As an adult expressing his mind
Helping me to stay afloat, Encouraging me as his life boat
I continue to tread water, Within tsunamis throat
Now using him as the outlet, In which I express
My deep darkest fears, He wipes away my tears
When younger siblings step in, In pride you should not be led
They to know whats best, While maintaining our thread
