My brother who I found


You were the last person in the universe 

that I thought would transverse

with someone like me

that could never be

I thought you were sadistic

but in reality you were empathetic

I gave you sole power 

but I couldn't think of you much lower

due to the fact

all my other authority figures lacked 

The knowledge that they could command

my life which is damned

for their gain

they all put me in pain

I expected the same

but you didn't think that was sane 

so you tried to help

with the power you held

you showed me that not everyone is bad

if power is something they had

you took the time to bother

to make sure you became my good brother

and I guess that's why I gave you control

so you could make me get out of this hole

I promise I won't turn back

and that I will try my best to stay on track
