Treading behind an impossible shadow, that there's no such thing as...
Never able to shine in my own light
Not understanding what I have come over,
not over come, because I had mountains to
climb and for what...
To be reminded that I'm still not good enough
I done fucked up royally or maybe
I'm a royal fuck up, either way
I'm not her
I wasn't painted in a beautiful picture
I was just an empty canvas, waiting to be
sketched by the Master Artist. Except I wasn't
the next master piece.
I could never compare to the original, so
why try...
No one's listening I'm not her
Not that the same things awarded her, was denied
to me.
I just couldn't or wouldn't conform to the idea
of being anything other than just me...
Even still I tried to resemble the one everyone
seemed to praise...
All hail the perfect one, yet it remains
I am not her

Cleardaynowalmost 10 years agoI like this the best of your three poems today. It has poignancy and subtlety & nicely captures the sibbling who believes that their brother or sister is the favoured one (it may actually be about something different but that is how I read it). I particularly like that it is not a single note complaint, it does explore the area and feelings

I got a little confused with the tense changes
I hear your bitterness - very well done.
