I've always known
You were better than me
From the day we met
It's a wound that wont heal.
You never cease
To surpass me;
You run faster than I.
You've run past me;
The world loves you
And you're ahead of them.
You're the one people look to;
You're the center of attention.
I don't matter
When you're around.
I have no meaning
When you're about;
Your all I wasn't
And so much more.
It's like no one needs me;
With me they're bored.
You've always been
The pride of the family;
My parents love you
And so do yours;
Go back generations,
They'll only love you more,
But I know what speaks this
Is only my pride.
This is inferiority,
It's jealousy and spite.
This is what I wanted to leave;
I wanted to leave it all behind,
But its hard to push back
And its hard to hide
When I now feel worthless
Because you can take my place.
It's hard to dream
When your superiority gets in my way.
