My Older Brother

Bri J

To my Older Brother

Two years

It's been two years

I seen you after the party

But I feel like we're drifting apart

Are we? or it is just me? I don't wanna fall apart

I told your friend about how I feel

I feel better getting that off my chest

I think she told you

I feel bad for not telling you straight up

But i'm grateful she told you

I'm grateful your making the effort

Thank you for trying even when I call you names

Thank you for trying even when I flip you off when dad isn't looking

Thank you for trying even when I hit you playfully

Thank you for staying even with all your problems

Thank you Tucker

    A poem of gratitude to a brother where so many sibling things are shared. It is cute and has a loving tone to it. Well done

        Nicely done, I know this feeling. I have five older brothers. The poet writes to convey their mixed emotions—uncertainty about their relationship and gratitude for the other person's patience. The act of writing serves as an outlet for their feelings and a means to bridge the gap that they sense.

          A beautiful letter. People that we can talk to and artistic outlets are so important.
