I try so hard and come up short,
I’m always over looked because everyone wants you,
No matter the effort I put in,
You always surpass me,
So why do I want to be just like you?
I look up to you more then you'll ever know,
I want to live you life,
But for now I will sit in your shadow,
Until it is my time

Hi IKNAP!

This is such a sad writing.  I don't believe in 'waiting in the shadows' for something or someone, because life is too precious to waste that way, but I definately can remember feeling exactly the way your writing 'feels' when I was younger.  This is very strong writing, very emotional.  Enjoying the range of emotions here in PiP!  Peace to you!

(big hugggsssssss) This is so very sad, sweet friend, I too know just how you feel, and I know how unhealthy it is to wait in the shadows for an answer rather than going on and enjoying life until they come fluttering in your face but I know how you feel and my heart goes out to you! (sigh) I wish for peace and comfort to fill your heart, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
