tw: abuse and alcoholism

my brother is my superhero.
he saved me in times i couldn't save myself.
he picked me up when i fell, for our mom could not.
he dabbed the blood from my lip
that was a result to the last beer my father drank. 
but my brother is a liar.
i used to wish i was like him,
to be as kind as him
as brave.
my brother is my superhero.
because he could never be anyone else's.
