________________________________

You're yelled threats fill my Brain.
Fear glosses over my eyes.
You've done this before.
As kids we hated each other.
You'd beat me then.
You threw everything you could find at me.
You'd hit me.
As we got older most of it ended.
The beatings stopped.
The yelling got worse.
So bad to the point were every time you'd open your mouth, you were going to scream.
Now that we are a bit older,
You threaten to beat me again.
Fists that once beat me would do it some more.
Yelling, now complemented by insults, rings in my ears.
It's a reminder to always fear you.
I beg you to get help before you force me to get the authorities involved.
I'm sorry it has to be this way, brother
