Work Text:
Beatings and shackles,
And chains and such.
I didn't really,
Mind at first.
Skinship's fine,
Siblings are rough.
As we are,
We had to be tough.
As time rolls by,
In a year or two.
I'll be strong,
And I'll beat you.
But as time went by,
Between me and you.
I stayed short,
And you only grew.
An hour turned ten,
All through the night.
As hard as I can,
To a future that's bright.
But blessed your soul,
Your body and might.
I puny human,
Could only cower in fright.
Then chains and shackles,
And beatings and such.
They didn't really,
Hurt as much.
You grew first but
I grew too.
Survival is key but
Living is too.
Weak I may be,
Worthless too.
But I just can't help,
Want freedom too.
