    For My Brother

    Sitting at home just getting off the phone. My eyes swell up like ballons the tears are coming soon. Falling in my mother's arms the only place I will cause no harm. From her arms, to the floor she can't hold me up anymore. I try to breathe, but I can't because I found out my brother has passed. Rushing to see him for the last time there are a lot of things running through my mind. Why, How, When. As I walk past all of my friends I am glad to see all of them. Hugs and tears are exchanged but now its time. I walk up the casket trying to hold it all in, but as soon as I see him it begins again. I try to get out, but I can't my friends tell me he would want me to. After giving him a kiss on his forehead I look at my family torn apart. We didn't have very much time together, but his memory will stay with me forever.

    I love this poem. I know how it feels to lose a loved one because my dad passed away last year. My dad was my role model, my hero, and my best friend. But I found comfort in God and learned how to cope and move on without him butalso living for him.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
