My Brother

I'm just so worried I can't take it
It scares me every day
I sit around and pray he'll be fine
But I know he's not OK

I really love my brother
He means a lot to me
But lately he's been different
He's not the same as he used to be

Maybe its the stress
Of the home we both live in
But I'm always here for him
God, don't let him give in

I know that he's done drugs
I know that he's like me
He's depressed and he needs help
But he won't let anyone see

I miss the way it used to be
When he and I were friends
Before we caught our mom's disease
I guess all good things meet their ends

Brother, won't you talk to me?
I may be young but I love you
I live like this everyday
I know what you are going through

He doesn't think I know
And I will never let him
I don't think he wants me to be
Like him with his depression

But its too late now, brother
I've got the symptoms too
I'd take the pain away if I could
But all I can do is love you

Brother, please get better
I need you here with me
I can't face this world without you
Brother, can't you see?

I look up to you so much
You give me a reason to hold on
Please don't take it all away
We both need to be strong

I really love you brother
You're the only family I can rely
I am here and so is God
Please....don't let yourself die...

*To my brother....God help him...
