All my life
I’ve dealt with pain
Due to strife
And my family shame

Generations past
Cursed my family was
And so, Fate was cast
By a woman’s ill buzz

Mine was the worst
Of this generation
My sanity burst
My mind’s degeneration

I split in two
That day in the snow
On knees in cold
Pain billowing in my soul

Confirmed this fact was at several spots
Grandpa’s death
Mob’s beating
Friends by witch and father caught
Curse on her breath
While my sanity was fleeting

I am two
There’s no hope for me
The bill is due
From which I cannot myself free

My Other
A Child, he is
My little brother
Love, he does miss

A creature of pain
He definitely is that
He raises Cain
In midst of spat

People fear him
My little one
Their understanding dim
From him, they run

A bully, he is not
Despite his rage
But he’s caught
By those who want him caged

He protects them
Despite the fear
Against bad men
And anatagonistic leer

Destroyer, he could be
But rarely he is
Love he does have
Despite lacking bliss

Women from us
Have run in fear
With much fuss
And without anything to hold dear

Karen was first
Nancy couldn’t with us deal
Angie’s trust burst
Only years later, did that heal

Deirdre played a role
Bringing us together
Unifying both souls
And for us, she was the mender

She sacrificed her life
Despite the risk
In the midst of strife
Her aim never missed

She loved us both
Deirdre did
Never let us mope
Neither me nor Kid

And so I go
Living with Little Brother
Hoping to lay low
Avoiding enemies that us would bother

If people would us treat
With kindness and love
The anger we’d defeat
Embrace we would the dove

Alas, the world is not so
And truly, we’re fixed
While rival winds do blow
Our results shall ever be mixed….


THE END
