Ever heard of the child that could solve
complex puzzles when she was just 2?
...
That was my sister
- - - - - -
Ever heard of the child that spoke gibberish until
he was just 4?
...
That was me

- - - - - - - - - -

Time after Time
All I've heard from
Mom and Dad
was
"Wow, look at your sister go!"
and
"Why can't you be more like your sister?"
...
Academics. Music. Friends.
Sister had them all
Failure. Failure. Failure.
Was all that was labeled onto me

Sure, call me the dominant gene
but height isn't a special thing
- - - - - - - - - - - -
No drugs. No curse words. No alcohol
Is all that we probably share as siblings
But I guess, to parents...
that's nothing special

Sometimes, I am very convinced
that I was just to live my life
as shadow of a wanted child
cause truth be told
I was never expected
I don't even know anymore
