Shadow

Holding his body
With his skinny arms
Skeleton body sculpting his rib cage.

Stuck in the shadows of his brother
Strong,
Brave,
And kind.

Hidden underneath weakness
While his brother represents strength

Staring at the ground knowing what worthlessness feels like,
Consumed in his body.
His brother looks up into the new life he is encountering
Aware of the changes.

He is stuck in his brother's shadow.
