Sloth

SLOTH
I’ve been called lazy,
I’ve been called useless
I’m judged for not wanting the same things as my father and brother.
I’m mocked for my lack of ambition
No-one in fork river has any faith in me
Not even my only family.
But those that judge me don’t know the heartache that burdens me.
There was a time when I wanted to be somebody.
When I wanted to give Erin Harper the best version of myself,
I was prepared to work as hard as I had to to provide a good life for the woman who’s held my heart since middle school.
All that drive and determination turned to ashes
When I watched that woman marry my brother.
When tragedy strikes our family,
It’s my time to step up.
To be the man she needs even though she’s grieving the one she loves.
