The Flip

He was a boy of mere innocence

He would never hurt anybody.

That perception changed

When bullets went through his body.

His brother always looked after him

Best friend and second father.

Had his best interest at heart,

But he always thought him a bother.

Everyday he'd make him mad,

Always wanted payback,

Never saw the little things

That would happen behind his back.

Good or bad,

It don't matter cause his hands

Covered w/ blood.

"Big brother why you leave me

This time you in the underworld."

He unleashed the beast

And every other demon w/in him

Wrecking the dresser drawers,

Closets,

Beds,

and any other denim w/ in them

What would he do that for,

He had everything in his life?

Money,

Clothes,

A car,

And his family cared for him right.

"What am I missing?"

Then he looked on the floor

And saw a diary.

He never knew his bro kept secrets

So he took a peek.

Took it upon himself

To find what the meaning

Would be.

Flipping through the pages he stopped...,

"What could this be?"

What made him stop

Is the fact that he just saw his own name.

Read a little bit more

Then he saw his name again.

He could tell bro was sad

Cause the pages were wet from tears.

Never thought he would be sad

He never thought he would have fears.

So he read some again

Then he even started to weep.

Turned his head toward him

And moved a little bit closer.

And in speech,
He quotes the book out loud,

"What should I do now

cause in time i will become a bogus brother.

Not what I had in mind.

I am who I am

I be who I be

I act how I act

And I can't change it it's me.

So if I take my life

And settle this right now,

He can live peacefully now."

Little brother said, "Why?!"

Then he picked up the gun himself.

He cocked it back real quick

And said, "You're not by yourself."

He pushed the book closed

And laid it on his chest.

As he laid adjacent to him

He pulled the trigger

As his eyes flipped back from death...
