Stuck in the shadow
October 10, 2023
Always the weaker one
Always the smaller one
Always the younger one
Always the second one
Stuck in the shadow of my predecessor
That i can never escape
Known by him and seen as him
So i never catch a break
Expected to do well
Expected to do better
Expected to be nicer
Expected to be expected
Worries of falling behind
And being less talented
The worries of not being great
Stuck in my head
