Hello, my brother.
You don't remember me.
Neither does our mother,
As you can plainly see.
Through life I was with you,
And in death shall also be,
I was there hangin' with you
When we both fell out the tree.
I was there when father beat us to death,
But for no explainable reasons to tell,
I was in the back of your mind, hiding in the depths;
Feeling it all as we both lived through hell.
Now we're in a brand new hell,
And your mind has grown so very weak;
Now you're gone with no way to tell
Your friends about your new mean streak.

Wow this poem really made me think. Very deep deep write. It left me feeling a bit troubled but thats just because it made me think about the not so pretty things in life. Once again great write you really did a excellent job on this poem. The only suggestion I could give would be that it could have been a bit longer.

WOW
This is a very deep, very dark write. A question i often ask myself and never have the answer, how can we run from ourselves?
I guess we cant and so the only option is to face ourselves head on. Great write here -
Very nicely written in addition to being very interesting I loved what you got out of the type "what are you running for?" you have such a interesting outcome it's very beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with me.
Best of luck to you in my contest!!!!!

this is a very powerful poem that you wrote I really love it. it is really deep and it touches my soul oh os very much. there is so many things that I would like to say about it but I can not seem to find the words to say. I know that it is very powerful in my eyes. For the most part I know how it is to be the only child in the house and not have any sibs and I think it is very nice and not so nice at times. Well good luck in my contest. you read the rules so you can enter another poem if you like.
