Afro garçon et fille (2022) Original Acrylic Painting by Emmanuel Akolo

Why do you protect me?
Is it because I am different?
Is the way i act?
All i am is dark and sad.
So why me?

I know i am your little sister
Truth be told i know.
But its hard dealing with me sometimes
when i push you and say "GO"

How do you notice the sadness within
i try so very hard to hide it
My minds so dark my heart so hurt
The pain just keeps me blinded

your brotherly ways send sun shining rays
your hugs protect me from danger
so why do i push you away
when all you try and do is help

oh dearest brother i know it must hurt
and i never meant it too
so thank you very much
Just remember i'll always love you
