SIBLING
Crossing finish line
Life at its end
Thought at that time
Where do I begin
His life and his safety
Or my insecurity
Sad about his state
Or with reference to me
Money in future
Matter to ponder
Him not in the scene
How will I fulfill my dreams
Love for him
Or need for him
Miss him period
Or miss him for a period
Replaced my father
All duties in order
My mother silent Spectator
Did his due more than required
Got me into school
College and a job to do
Helped my enterprise
Sharing his office space
Grateful forever
Such an elder brother
Never seen another
Made him my lifes special feature
Many aspects of life
Made it his quest
To see me fulfilled
Happy and tranquil
Did so from birth
Till date no dearth
Expectations fulfilled
For nothing I did
Put him on a pedestal
He was my role model
Emulating him my goal
From the bottom of my soul
Across the dark side
Is making me sweat
Missing him from the heart
I'm unable to tell apart
Left stranded on this side
Scared rest of my life
Selfishness aside
Everything brush aside
His presence a better bargain
Abscence all will go in vain
Commercial or Emotional
Beneficial or detrimental
Safe or Sorry
Reality or Worry
Differences many
Regarded him as a bully
Took me to the cleaners
Everytime I made a blunder
Uncensored words
Treating me like a ****
Questioned my emotions
Lack of genuineness
Put me down
Not worth a dime
Ambitions down the pipeline
Being born a crime
Every behavior mocked
Opposed and joked
Gestures ridiculed
Just to prove that he could
Cause of misery
Education and wedlock
Second fiddle to spouse
Not a good quality to espouse
Directly affected
By his wife and her methods
Joined the brigade
My faults to parade
Like him or dislike him
Always the split
Severe internal struggle
Pendulum in the middle
Weigh the both
Traders we are not
Value to emotion
Not a human notion
Fight for his stature
When insulted for his nature
Act mature or immature
Never know even in the future
Entire gamut covered
The good the bad and the ugly
Weighing machine cannot weigh
Had only 2 to sway
He lies in the hospital
My feeling not clear
His life I hold dear
Do I hold him near ?
50 years life led
Straight and complex
Feelings mixed
Or am I fooling myself???
Worshipped him
Feared him
Hated him
Fought him
Ignored him
Forgave him
