I will walk in the shadows of my brother.

Will I be heard?

Will I find my voice?

No one understands

I am nothing like my brother.

Mom and Dad

want me to be just like him.

But who am I?

I am a lost soul

trying to find my way

Should I live up to everyone’s expectations?

Or do I live up to mine?

Their expectations are high

but so are mine

If I’m like my brother

will I make my parents happy?

I know if I make them happy

my smile nor heart will be true.

Truth is I am far

from being like my brother.

I can only be me…

Is that enough?
