I know that sometimes we don't see eye to eye

Well really we never see eye to eye

And because of this we sometimes fight

Well we always end up fighting

I wish we could just stop fighting and work together

We work well together

When we are not in each others faces

You're just to hotheaded for your own good

And you can't see what it does to you

But I do every time you get too angry

You can't control yourself

And I know this sounds like I am lecturing him

But I am not

When he can't control himself

It scares me

Yeah I always say you could have hurt someone to him

And start saying you could have hurt our brothers or Master Splinter

But really deep down I know he would not have hurt them

I know the person he would have really hurt and he always does

Himself

That's what scares me

When he does one of his over the top angry fits

He leaves to go topside

I would not dare follow him even if I want to so bad

Master Splinter always has to stop me

He says Raphael needs to calm down

Yeah if calm down means get his shell kicked

But I never go against what Splinter says so

I just answer Yes Sensei

Then comes the horrible part

Waiting

Waiting for him to come home

Waiting to see if he is alright

Waiting to see if he comes home

Then comes the most horrible part

Hoping

Hoping for him to come home

Hoping that he is alright

Hoping that my little brother is not lying dead in an alley

Then after what feels like years he comes home

Sometimes with blood all over him

Sometimes with not even a scratch

I always try to help him

But he just says he is fine

He always asks me why I am still up at this time

I just say could not sleep or I was training

He believes me I think

I can't go telling him I was waiting for him

He would just raise his voice and start

He would say something along this line

Why are you waiting for me you should be getting rest oh fearless leader

Yeah getting rest when one of my little brothers could be dead

But I would just answer

Wanted to get an early start on training

There's no stopping you fearless

He would say and walk off to his room

Fearless I hate it when he calls me that

But I put up with it as long as he is okay

But it confuses me how after getting his shell kicked

He can smile and be okay

Well I think we are just too
