(23) My Brother (August 30th, 2023 @ 2:36am)

Nobody understands how much I love this little guy.
My brother’s the reason I’ll never commit suicide.
Never thought the both of us would get high.
Let alone together, it’s been one hell of a ride.

I want you to know, you are loved!
My brother’s name is Julio, truly beloved!
The love I carry for you rises higher than the sky above.
I hope you accept my apologies and cherish my eternal love.

This world’s full of hatred and misunderstandings.
Meanwhile we’re so high, we’re debating landing.
You helped me become more understanding.
We have each other’s back and that’s a blessing.

Your birth was a blessing, not a dishonor.
To be titled ‘big brother’ is my biggest honor.
My brother will never need to carry a strap.
Your big brother will always have your back.

Dear Julio, you gave me a purpose.
I feel different now, I don’t feel useless.
I’m grateful to be able to call you my brother.
Please note, your presence could never be a bother.

You’re one of a kind, unlike any other.
I’m grateful for my mother;
To have given me the opportunity,
To create an unbreakable bond and unity.

In my heart, I carry you.
In my spirit, I cherish you.
In my life, I shall protect.
In the afterlife, all love no neglect.
