Introduction

The old man, weighed by the past,

Forever seeking what once was.

Days gone by much too fast.

Pride-stricken, forcing his ways

Onto all that is under him,

Especially his children, always.

The eldest being so different,

The youngest always being so similar,

Difference causes an incident.

Pain, many see unknown.

Lost, tears have been unsown.

Tears, shed before he’s grown.

There’s no way to forget the scars,

And how they have come to be.

But the heart bears so many more.

I am the oldest.

I have been beaten.

I have not been broken.
