You think you live in my shadow
But you're brighter than I will ever be
You think that you're not good enough
But I'm glad you're not like me
You're beautiful and childlike
You're lovely and you're caring
You're smart and strong
And you're secretly daring
You try to be like I,
But I don't want that
And there's a reason why,
Because I'm suicidally trapped
So don't follow in my footsteps
It's a long, dark path
Take the road less taken
And don't look back
Grow up and have kids
Make them laugh and smile
I'll be watching
And I'll see you in awhile
Make good choices
And don't grow up too fast
Take school seriously,
And make your childhood last
So promise me,
Whatever you do,
Don't make the same mistakes I did
Because I love you.
