Big Brother

A family broken...

Momma asked me what I gave God today.

Papa said nothing, cause he went away.

Sister picked a fight but I just said no.

Brother asked me where did daddy go.

All these answers I have to give.

Are every single reason I have to live.

Little hands reaching need something to grasp.

And mamma needs a strong arm to fight off a man.

Being what you are and being what you aint,

Aint easy to be, but easy I aint.

Big brother I've been,

Since the day sis was born.

Since bug called me bubs,

Since momma was torn. 

And though I must go,

Though sometimes I'm away.

My answer will always,

Be of course I can stay.

Thanks for reading everyone. Love your family. No matter what.
