I sat there watching him
I really felt sorry for him
but what could I do?
My little brother was all alone
left out and scared.
Not that he would admit it;
he never does.
Always puts on his big boy act.
Even when he's left out
and hurt beyond belief.
Sometimes I just want to go over there
and smack some sense into them.
Just because he's different;
just because he's not like them.
They abandon him and leave him be.
I've heard him cry at night;
feeling so alone.
They're supposed to be his friends
damnit!
They should care more than this!
It hurts me more than works can say
I love my brother;
I love him a lot.
We're really close;
yet it hurts me because he can't tell me.
He can't explain his pain
so he pretends it doesn't exist.
Which makes me mad;
he's being stupid.
I care for him
of course I do he's my brother!
But he just bites it all back.
I feel sorry for him...
Really I do.
Author notes
Response to prompt 4. How I felt when my brother's so called 'friends' kept leaving him out and abonding him becuase he's a little crazy. Thankfully he has true friends now so it's all okay.
