Little Big Brother

by Jason   Feb 5, 2007


Always sent to protect you
Me, your little big brother
I was there everywhere you went
Somehow I always felt like a bother

Sow much time spent together
Sharing sorrows and mirth
Till people began to say
"They are twins separated by birth"

A sight given so young
My father killed by a gun
You plaster against the wall in fright
Told to ignore it and have fun

Every time you were beaten
All I could do was cry
Every bastard boyfriend who hurt you
Made me curl up and die

What could I do?
Big for my age
Everyone else so much bigger
Just sit and bottle up my rage

When your bottle was full
Holding it in no longer
A pattern was repeated
I look and think I'm no stronger

Pill away from happiness
Sitting in padded room
Finlay have someone listen
I wonder, is this to my Doom?
