Relative Insanity



I was a child, barely born of this earth,
a broken shell I became, from my brothers rebirth

Sadness has followed, each and every day,
ever since the time, that he passed away

Anger and tears, are companions true,
new episodes of darkness, that only bring blue

Memories of pain, stuck in the past,
fade into nothing, how long will I last

Years I have lived, with a tormented heart,
each day is a struggle, that tears me apart
