Brothers alas Nothing to separate In the land that birthed you You will one day lay An advocate, a surgeon, a businessman All wish to live in bliss But life isn’t what they deem For one of the brother’s family is full of greed Corrupted as one can be The mask outside, beautiful, so carefree Inside thy heart Darkness greets

Brothers after all
Sixteen today, a sunlit affair, A sky of promise, carefree and fair. A heart that's light, a spirit that's bright, A future unfolding, pure and white. A world of wonder, a stage to play, A thousand dreams, a brand new day. With every sunrise, a chance to soar, To chase ambitions, forevermore. A bond of friendship, a love so true, A circle of joy, a faithful few. Grateful for blessings, for grace divine, A life so precious, eternally mine. Sixteen today, a gift from above, A tapestry woven with threads of love. With every breath, a reason to smile, A sixteen-year-old, pure and guileless, for a while.

Sixteen (optimistic version)
Sixteen today, a milestone they say, But inside this heart, a storm does play. No joy, no cheer, no spark in my eyes, Just a heavy sigh, and silent cries. A world of expectations, a mask to wear, A smile plastered on, a facade to bear. The pressure to be alive, to fit the mold, A suffocating weight, a story untold. Lost in the crowd, invisible and unseen, A fading presence, a forgotten dream. Yearning for connection, for someone to know, But met with indifference, a vacant blow. Sixteen today, a bittersweet affair, A birthday wish for acceptance, for someone to share. But for now, I'll carry this burden alone, A sixteen-year-old, lost and unknown.

Sixteen (pessimistic version)
Stumped in a place I call home Perhaps away is the way to go Bury the books bury the light Bury yourself and all your might Saddened heart, crucial time Time ticks, the bell chimes Darkness, darkness all around Like the light, the switch can’t be found Drowning, drowning of lack of air Oxygen surround me but I can’t intake Though shadows loom and silence screams Hold tight to fragments of fragile dreams For even the night must yield to dawn And every storm will one day be gone

Crucial time
Brother of mine You fail to see what lies within Of these people you call family The walls you’ve built, I must tear I’ve tried numerous time but you won’t hear Open your eye Brother of mine Your blood wants to ruin mine For all they care about is only your light I must not outshine you Oh a dreadful crime For your blood will come to get me Though, they are also mine

Oh Brother
The books are stacked, a towering wall, Each page a sneer, a mocking call. Equations dance, a dizzying blur, History's whispers, I can't endure. My mind is numb, my spirit frayed, By endless lessons, poorly played. The clock ticks on, a heavy beat, Another deadline, I can't meet. The world outside, a vibrant hue, But mine is gray, and leaking through. I see the laughter, hear the song, But I'm trapped here, where I don't belong. A heavy weight upon my chest, A constant ache, no time for rest. The joy is gone, the spark has died, Just weary sighs, I can't hide. I long to break these binding chains, To wash away these pouring rains. To feel the sun, the gentle breeze, And find some solace, if you please. But here I sit, in dim-lit room, Surrounded by this academic tomb. And in the depths of my despair, I'm drowning slowly, in the air.

The Academic Tomb
Oh sacred man Love me truly For time is running out And things are going amiss. You loved me once Like the true charm I was Now that things are going downhill Will you remember me? Oh Grandpa I love you truly
