Binded by blood from before our existence

Yet between our personalities lies a large distance

He’s the yin to my yang, minus all the tranquility

We’re more akin to Heaven and Hell with all the volatility


A harbinger of chaos in my daily life

In my room, more dangerous than a knife

An admired angel in the spotlight

A dangerous devil in the moonlight


Yet fate pulls us back together

Our lives on divergent paths but held by a tether

And from the friction arises motivation

Through thick and thin we lend inspiration


Any challenges we face, we shall smother

For there is no word more powerful than “brother”

We had an assignment to write a parent poem, but I forgot and accidentally wrote a sibling poem instead.
