When I look at my brother

When I look at my brother
I see a miniature me
Full of joy and happiness
I see a naive little person
Naive but smart
A small bundle of joy
Bursting with energy
Not worried about the future ahead

I then look at myself
I am nothing like him
What happened to the times in which I too was worry free
Continuously reading
Enthusiastic about learning new things
Where did that all go?
Who took it from me?
Reality
I realize that everything was caused by reality
But reality
Was caused by me
