Brought into this world by my mother

My protectors, bodyguards, idols, heroes…

MY BROTHERS

With their rough love and soft sense of humor

Like my life in human form

they mean more than the world to me

Tackle them, I get tackled back

Play fight to prepare me for hard times

Just some more rough love

That’s my brothers

The jokes they crack on me out of love

It may hurt but I always find the courage to laugh

I know they don’t mean it

Yep, my brothers

Very successful, makes me look up to them

Making it through

With a cap on their heads and a degree in their hands

I realize I want to accomplish that too

Loving their style

The outfits they throw together I admire a lot

Just my older brothers

Every boy I mention is stupid to them

I’m starting to agree

But that’s their way of keeping me from them

And them from me

That’s their way of protecting

MY BROTHERS
