When I was little
Brother, you were big
You held answers to the riddle
What’s so cool to bug
pester you
I wanted to look, act, talk like that
In every way like you too
Every time we would spat
Fight like cats and rats
I aspired to be your equal
I desired to be the kid that
Would follow your footsteps, a sequel
Because the prequel was pretty cool
I wanted to be your sidekick too
At home base we’d rule
I just wanted to be like you.
Did you pester your siblings or were you the one being pestered? Do you look back and think differently about your relationship growing up?
