i walk two steps behind you
always in your shadow
always agreeing with you
always taking the blame
always doing what im told

...this is where i belong?
that is what you told me
that is what i believed
that is what i did
that is what i failed

...or did i?
i found that i was your equal...
    better then you in ways.
i found that i deserve...
    my chance in that spotlight.
i found that you could be wrong...
    but so could i at times.
i found that it wasnt always my fault...
    but i can accept it when it is.
i found that i have courage...
     more the i could ever imagine.
i found where i belong...
     and that wasnt with you!

Definitely a very impressive poem.  It glows with power and rebellion against supression.  Excellent sentiments, and the organization and format are all top-notch.  
Another of your works enters my personal library.

Enjoyable read. Very well done tiff.
Hope to see more!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Awesome job with the bold and italics.  That gave a nice feel for the poem.  Good work!  I enjoyed this.
Nicely done.

I;m glad that you've realized that you don't deserve to be treated that way.  More power to you
