To My Brothers

If its one thing I learnt in my journey to where I am today, it is that people dissapoint you, people hurt you, people cheat you, people mock you. People have the power to inflict a lot of pain on you in so many ways so many times. Which is why I realise the importance of family. Family to me, is another category of 'people'.
It is in this category of people, that I do my best to not harbour any hatred of any sort towards no matter the circumstances. I repeat, NO MATTER the circumstances. This implies that you both, being 'people' are still in the position to do what 'people' do me, but I have placed you in another level of relationship. And though I do show my anger so many times, let me assure you, these feelings do not evolve into
hate.

Forgive me for the times I complained about you,
I know there are many things to complain about me.
Forgive me for the times I said I was dissapointed with you,
I know I have dissapointed you as well.
Forgive me for when I said unkind words to you,
maybe I received my share of it and didnt give it much thought when I did the same.
Forgive me for when I showed my temper to you,
I know there were times when you could have shown it too but didnt.
Forgive me if I have to be the one with the rules,
the implementation of it does not come willingly.
Forgive me if I appear to be such a goody two shoes,
maybe I thought I had to provide a positive image.
Forgive me for when I neglected you,
maybe I too feel neglected and find other ways of filling the void.
Forgive me if I come home with a cloud over me,
maybe I couldnt let it rain when people were around.
Forgive me if I dissaprove of the things you do,
maybe my approval is hard to give when it comes to someone you care for.
