What makes a man: Betrayal?
A big brother is meant to step in
Help his smaller weaker siblings out
When it was my brother's turn
To help me with a bully
A boy much older than me
He just sat there and watched
As my head was held underwater
for what felt like far too long
I came up crying with rage and frustration
Not that anyone could tell
The betrayal was what hurt the most
From that day forward my brother and me
Always fought our arguments became physical
We used to fight like cat and dog
Not sure if I was the cat or the dog
Whichever one would lose
He had two years on me
Two years bigger than me
Two years stronger than me
Two years cleverer than me too
Now I’ve got 5 inches
And 20 kilograms on him
24 years of martial arts experience
A black belt
We don’t fight anymore
I guess he is still the clever one
But, without that moment of betrayal
Would I have learnt self-reliance?
Would I be the man I am today?
