What Do You See?
Location
Little brother, little brother,
where have the years gone?
Last I remember, you were just turning 7.
Still held a sparkle in your eye.
Not anymore.
It's October 29th tomorrow, you're a year away from being 13.
I saw you this past Saturday and that's when I knew.
You're not 7 anymore.
I could have broken right there, when I saw that everything has changed.
She's done this to you, your mother.
My mother.
Her.
Why?
Mother, how could you?
Mother, how dare you.
He was just a little boy. He had such a
vibrancy.
The happiest smile.
You took that.
Mother, how could you?
Mother, how dare you.
That little boy saw a loving world,
and you've darkened it.
You've sacrificed your kids for him.
You have sacrificed us.
Shh, mother, we can hear your lies.
Quick mother, take off your make-up, you're almost home...
his home.
Funny. Your face is barren with vulnerabilty, nothing to hide under.
And yet, never have I seen a person so full of secrets.
Funny.
Don't worry, I know I'm not welcome.
But mother, can I ask you a question,
When you look in the mirror, what do you see?
