Our Story

Our story always ends the same

No matter how many pages I turn

 

In the end

I’m the friend in need

And you’re the main character, always having to help me

 

I try to rip the pages out

Hoping you’ll see me in a different light

But no matter how hard I try

I can’t rewrite our ending

 

I’m just a character in your story

The comparison

Only existing to show how amazing you are

 

I’m stronger than you give me credit for

But I’m meant to mess up

I’ll always be a page behind you

Destined to fail
 

I'm lost in your shadow

Desperate to shine

Will you ever realize

I'm your equal?
