The Tallest Brother
Among my pencil peers in the cup
I am freshly sharpened
In line with the doors of development
I am bright and new
Among the waves in the ocean
I soar the highest
Among weapons
I shoot the farthest
Among brothers
I am the tallest
But among the lines of ego
Mine is the biggest
Among the mirrors of superstition
I am shattered
Among friendships, I am alone
