Shadow

I been in your shadow since I was kid

I was considered a cheaper version of you

I always been the "bad" and you were always the "good".

How wrong people were about you

Turns out i was always the good

While you were the one hurting.

When I turn twelve i got out of that shadow

But i didn't realize that until now

That I see very clearly with my eyes wide open .

You have no idea what that shadow meant to me

But it was not a good meaning

It meant people were not going to see how awesome I can be.

But i don't need people to see it

Because of you opening my eyes

I can see the things I have achieved without being you .

Now I have my own mind and decisions

My own body which by the way i love.

And my own personality .

I'm a pretty funny person

And people who has met me love me

Because I have a heart made of golden.

Sometimes it seems like I don't have at all

But I'm the one of few who love most.

I'm the one who gave it all not you.
