"O' Brother"

O’ Brother…

An older brother is in turmoil right now..
He is 33 years of age…
Sad to realize that he has fallen in a feeling of betrayal again…
I say again because this feeling started in his younger days…
A trauma that is difficult to let go…
And a recent situation has triggered him to fall back in the feeling of being victimized…
But during these moments a lot of things will come as a surprise…
Moments that will become opportunities for my brother and me…
That at these points in our lives, a brother could indeed uplift a brother’s spirit…
Within months of struggles and aches…
Only an hour of lunch between brothers could ease the pain…
With that hour of conversation, my brother is ready to face the world again…
Prepared to triumph and conquer his destiny and the abundance that he deserves…
Ready to challenge his fears and slay the dragons in his mind…
What propelled him to swing to the positive side at such a fast pace?
I have come to realize that there are indeed a lot of changes to the present lives that we hold…
In the norm, we would just ignore and pester each other up…
And that, it is a sign of weakness to allow you to be beaten down by a situation…
However this situation presented us a new fate…
It showed me a chance to kindle a brotherhood that I’ve longed for…
Where rivalries are put aside…
And that just Love and Support could move brethren…
That expressing Love is not at all corny as how we think it is…
Instead Love could give Courage and Hope to the imminent future of our Lives…
It is by Love that we are hurled to the Light, From the Darkness that makes us feeble…
The Happiness that it brought me…
Thank you O’ Brother for this chance…
