Letter To My Brother (Remix)

Intro Poetry — before the beat drops softly

“Yemisi Komolafe…

A name that learned strength before peace

A soul dressed in silence

Smiling through storms nobody sees

Raised by questions life never answered

Walking roads without a guide

Trying to become a man

While healing the child inside

Some nights carry too much noise

Too many thoughts… too many scars

But even broken hearts still beat

And wounded souls still reach for stars

So if you hear this pain in my voice

Know this song is more than music

It’s a letter from a heavy heart

Still searching for light through the ruins…”

Letter To My Brother”

Brother…

If I could pour my heart on paper

Maybe you’d finally understand

Why I smile outside

But fight wars inside

Verse 1

Dear brother, I’ve been carrying stones in my chest

Trying to act strong while my soul gets stressed

Everybody says “be a man” but nobody explains

How a broken boy survives all this pain

We grew up learning silence from the walls

No father figure there whenever life would call

So I study older men just to copy their ways

Hoping somehow I’ll become one someday

I got anger in my blood, confusion in my head

Dreams in my heart but fear beneath the bed

Every road looks dark, every choice feels wrong

And the nights are getting way too long

Sometimes I laugh so nobody sees

How depression slowly lives in me

I keep everything hidden inside my skin

‘Cause men get judged when they speak what’s within

Pre-Chorus

And I know you got your own scars too

But tonight I just need someone true

Someone who can hear my soul

Before this weight finally takes control

Chorus

Brother, tell me… how does a man become whole?

When nobody taught him how to carry his soul

I’ve been lost in the dark trying to find my name

Walking through the fire pretending I’m okay

Brother, I’m tired…

Tired of fighting battles no one sees

Trying to become somebody I don’t know how to be

If I break tonight, don’t look away

Just sit with me… stay

Verse 2

I bottle emotions till they poison my mind

Smile in the daylight, cry when alone at night

I question God sometimes, “Why this heavy load?”

Why does every step in life feel like an endless road

People see a grown man standing tall

But inside there’s still a child scared of it all

Trying to lead with wounds I never healed

Trying to survive while the pressure builds

I envy people raised with guidance and direction

A father’s wisdom, love and correction

‘Cause we had to teach ourselves how to survive

While carrying trauma just to stay alive

And honestly brother… I’m scared of failing

Scared this pain inside me is slowly prevailing

Scared I’ll wake one day and realise too late

I spent my whole life trying to escape

Bridge

But if you feel this too

Then maybe we’re not weak

Maybe broken men are just hearts

That never got the chance to speak

Maybe healing starts

When silence finally ends

When brothers stop pretending

And become each other’s strength

Final Chorus

Brother, tell me… will we ever find peace?

Will these storms inside our souls finally cease?

I’m still searching for the man I’m meant to be

Through the pain, the fear, the insecurity

Brother, if you hear this

Know I’m still trying every day

Even when the darkness whispers

That I should fade away

And if I fall someday

Please remember this truth—

I wasn’t weak…

I was just a boy

Trying to become a man

Without a map to follow through.
