 Challenge: [Write a short story or poem about a relationship, good or bad, between siblings] Dat apple don't fall far from dat tree. Me? I ‘m free from such troubles. No such worries for me. No genetic connections to you Or her nor even he. I stand and I laugh at the quagmire… Through which you have to struggle Ne’er an inch farther Than when you began the struggle. We were younger then,and you Swore you would not, Repeat the mistakes Of the past. You would not be THAT man. You would Be different… THAT didn't last Now I stand here, drink in Hand having read your threats To me… having done my Dance of joy , that there is no link to thee! You alone carry the code For the cold, cold heart And the cruel nature that Turns on its young. That combination is one That is dangerous to deal with And I sleep with one eye open But with a smile upon my face And a dance in my heart. For you are what you Did not wish to be. You, are your father. My revenge is complete. © Kimberly C. Beach All I wanted was to like you You were flesh of my flesh A younger sibling that I was to watch over But you had access to things I did not You were closer to everyone While I chose to keep my distance, I was determine to fight a war that was between our mothers' Finally I had seen that I was only harming myself psychologically I was mending fences and healing myself I was reaching out to our father... But your mother did not want that You, her seed, would always be considered better... in her eyes So, she devised a plan so evil, Cain looks like a saint So now my life is crumbling My soul is weak Grandmother states prayer can change things Let go and let God she adds But I want to let it all go All because of my brother's ultimate betrayal... © Genta Hughes The entire contents of this site is copyrighted.
