Wasting days wishing for this and that
Thinking of me, mine and... hey get back
As a young child I quickly caught on...
The all too common wish, it was all wrong
A little brother, who at best, will always be ill
I no longer wished for this and that... for he is
Naive to the cruel path awaiting, our hearts be still...
I would often cry to sleep, thinking the thoughts
He would someday face, by the force of nature.
Why do I have to die... What did I do...
I never hurt anybody... I never wanted to...
Then the day came... and the thoughts arose...
Dying inside... and nobody knows...
All he asked for was a life and a job
When denied two simple things... if asked
He'd tell you... I'm glad it's me and not you.
Him looking up to me, ended up twisted around.
A man of men, I look up to him and proud.
He passed out more smiles than "The Clown"
A little brother at best... a Hero at the least.

Dollar Kidd's Tunes to Think To...
About Me
- Dollar Kidd
- about my book OUT OF MY MIND a poetic autobiography This unique collection of poetry, complemented with feedback and comments from readers and the author, intimately explores the author’s life and experiences. Using poetry to express life’s trials and triumphs, author Dollar Kidd offers a collection of poetry with a unique approach in Out of My Mind. The work intimately explores Kidd’s life and experiences, while the comments following each selection from both Kidd and his online readers, provide additional background from which to understand and appreciate each poem. In “Winter Night,” he writes, / As I turn into my drive / I see a woman standing aside / She stands with her arms at her side / Dressed in solid black / Low cut neck, in a V to her breasts / Sleeves cover her hands / But split up past the wrists / Her long dark hair covers her shoulders / … Often infused with raw emotion, the poems in Out of My Mind not only share Kidd’s inner thoughts and ideas, but also demonstrate that positive outcomes can emerge from negative situations

About the fact that I began wishing for a full normal lifefor my bother at about age 10 or 11, I was 8 years older than him.
It bothered me to hear friends wish for things other than for the chance for a sibling to have a normal life. I was jealous and angered by this.
