Because of me

I didn't beat my brother
No, I never laid a hand on him
But I watched
So is that just as bad
I knew how it was to be beaten, I knew it all to well
Yet I didn't save him
So in a way,
Am I the one who truly hurt him
I am I the one to blame
Oh, I must stop asking this question
For I already know the answer
By doing nothing,
By not making the choice to save him
I made the choice not to
My brother is gone
and I AM to blame,
now
i must face the facts
and cut in shame
