A Brother’s Friend

By Indyarria Smith

Hate is what he learned at school

What seemed to be a nightmare of a place

Walking in the doors thinking he could learn in peace

This brother of mine

He told me, sis it’s okay

Thier words don’t hurt me

And if they don’t like me that’s their loss

He looked up to me to be his friend

And I was

A best friend

A sister
