Learn to get along

When he looks at me

I see the whole world in his eyes

And I can do anything

His big baby blues

I wonder sometimes

How it is I'm still breathing

He was so small

His hands were so weak

Now he's playing ball

And just a head shorter than me

As a sister i'm a lot of things

A tyrant, a hero, a know it all, and role model

As a brother he's so much more

He's the reason I can keep my feelings in a bottle

He's the reason I get up in the morning

He's the reason I stay strong when I'm weak

He's the reason I try so hard

He looks up to me

He's the reason I changed my crazy ways

He's the reason we will be okay

He is the reason that we haven't collapsed

Sometimes I think He's all i have

He's the reason we got out

He's the reason that I write it out

Sometimes i'm overprotective

And sometimes I belittle him

he's growing up so fast

I can see the end

I don't mean to put him down

And it hurts me when I do

he's the reason 

i want to know you

will you be like him

will you look up to me

will you hop into my lap 

and call me sissy

I wonder about you

And I hope when you're older

you know this had nothing to do 

with me or your brother

This isn't our fight to fight

We just have to stay strong

And hope that the big kids

Learn to get along
