My brother

My brother

A Poem by LatoyaEvans
"

Dedicated to "the need for help" with substance abuse

"
Stuck in a mans body
but "boy pains" are embodied
Life left along time ago
but although 
he walks around
on solid ground
With a heavy hand he uses...
then his actions abuses
with lifeless words he confuses
but never chooses
he just accepts
he seldom rejects
only expects things to just happen
with no actions
life filled with distractions
and that's it
Heavy eyes closes to reveal
darkness like no other
this helpless person is my brother
whom I'd love to smother
but he won't let it happen
His dream less body has his soul trapped in
Existence for him is at an end
He can't comprehend
Responsibility, only fragility
What are we going to do with Lee.
