Responsibility

It's the one thing I have

In a world that has completely abandoned it

My father is an idiot

My older brother is a bully

And my mother

For all intents and purposes, a whore

I have two bullies, in fact

Not just my brother

But him

They both torment me daily

Leave me in pain

Both on my body

And in my very heart

Well, they can try to, anyway

Because I know they're weak

They're afraid

Of what I have

Of what I can do

But I won't

Because it's been said before

I'll say it again

"With great power comes great responsibility"

You know what?

The reverse is just as true

With great responsibility comes even greater power

Look at what my responsibility has won me

It's won me friendship

It's won me love

It's even won me an apprenticeship

What do they have?

Brute strength

All that brawn is worthless

If you don't have the brains

I'm just so lucky to have both

The might

And the mind

I could crush them if I wanted to

But it wouldn't be right

Not for me

And not for him

Underneath all that steel

There shines a soul

He wants to learn

He wants to grow

And I could not be any more thankful

Than to be his guide

On the road to greatness
