Mikhail Bennett - My Brother Was Just A Kid Too

My brother was just a kid, too
Trying to hold the sky in place
Standing in the middle of a storm with fear written on his face
He never asked to carry me, never asked
To see me through.
I needed someone
Strong to lean on.
But my brother was
Just a kid, too
He learned how to calm my shaking when
The nights got way too long
Turned broken into something safe
Even when he wasn't strong, he missed
Out on being
Trying to do what grown men do
I didn't know the price he paid
When he was pulling me through.
