    A really great piece!

    Some people just care about how other people see them...they care more about being on top and having power. Life is a struggle, they will fall from that top... and when they do, they won't have a friend in the world because they thought they were better than them.

    "You are so used
    to conquering mountains
    That you completely forgot
    about life's deep valleys

    It's not about
    reaching the highest top
    But about climbing out
    of the holes on the road

    Cause life is a road
    with a lot of bumps and turns
    Of which you'll not reach the end
    'till you are dead"

    ^these 3 stanzas are wonderful!!!

    Often in life we seem to forget that we
    are only human. We are driven and striving
    that somehow we may lose focus on what
    is really important, and that is life

    You know this is in fact sad and painful to read, beacuse two brothers cannot talk honestly and openly directly and have to write to express their feelings in letters.

    The poem sets out to point out that some people are so caught up in themselves that really they cannot see or hear others which is really so sad.

    Such a touching and emotional write, well penned.

  • Hopefully your brother listens.

    A splendid piece, that brings us back down to earth. Makes us think of where we all started, because that's just as important as the climb. To remember those who helped us get to where we are today and to remember that there is more than what our ambition desires. That our ambition can be both a blessing and a curse. But in the end, we are only human, and we mustn't forget who we were before we began the climb.

    5/5

    Its so hard to reach family sometimes and to get them to see what we see,,,,

    Very sweet piece, not harsh, yet still desperately calling for your brothers attention. :) loved

    I like to write poem or letter as well because sometimes talking just lead to an argument.
    ''It's not about
    reaching the highest top
    But about climbing out
    of the holes on the road''
    I really like this part.
    Very well written :)
