Chapter 12 Cursed Gap

I'm standing on one side
Looking across
I seem so happy
Yet, how can I truly be.

I seem so carefree
No worries in the world
Always smiling
No frowns cross my face.

But how can I be at peace
When I have to deal with a curse
But how can I be carefree
When I have to watch my little brother at a distance.

The gap between my brother and I is my fault
I guess.
But I truly didn't mean for the gap to get so wide
I loved my brother growing up
I still do.
But I was a popular, pretty teenager
I didn't want my younger sibling tagging along.

My friends are great
I can be so carefree with them
We don't have to be careful because we're all cursed.

I want to stand on the same side
Embrace my brother and have him embrace me
And then I can be truly happy.
