A Poem about Brotherhood

Brotherhood is a feeling of goodwill, fellowship and sympathy to other people; it is also defined as a group of men with strong bonds. This poem is about my lost friend whom I treat as my own brother, but he chose to break it. I know things will never be back, and I have learned that life is harsh because of him, but God have given me more than I could expect – I gained more good friends.

Brotherhood by Derek Owens

I have lost my best friend before

Whom I considered my own brother

Even we’re not real brothers

I love him just like my own

But one day, he abused my kindness

He started to use harsh words

He began to ignore my presence

He had changed unexpectedly

I tried to revive what we have lost

Just like putting back a broken glass

But instead of getting fixed

I was the one who got wounded

It was hopeless and it was ruined

So I’ve decided to forego even its hard

It feels so bad deep inside,

But I cannot do anything to make it last

I settled down to a new hometown

Find new friends and create new one

But memories lurk about him;

Regretting why it needs to end that way

As the day goes by, I start to smile

I already get used of the pain inside;

I learned to realize that life is like that

Some people are meant to be detached

Now that I find myself after brokenness

I see the light again in my life

If he treats me as his own brother

He will not do those things to hurt me

For brothers will always be brothers

No matter what happen;

They will stay together even at times,

When life tells them to fight
