Dear Mark
I used to resent you
You had everything I thought I had
only to have it ripped away
I used to imagine being you
in a happy family who smiled and laughed
who praised God not in the hope for better things that would not come
but because of what you had
You seemed so happy all the time
proud of who you were and where you came from
And I
I was dieing on the inside struggling to breath through a crack in the wall
You were just so happy and free
And I wanted to ruin that for you
But then I got to know you
and I couldn’t hate you anymore
You’re not the type to be resented
but I’m the type to resent
Try as I might I couldn’t do it
You were just so happy and free
Who was I to ruin that for you?
You’re like a little brother to everyone you know
You’re annoying and tone deaf
And half the time I want to punch you in the teeth
But I can’t hate you
You’re just so happy and free
And I won’t be the one to ruin that for you.
