The Other Me

Something that takes all of you
Eats you up and spits you out
There is nothing you can do
What can you do?
You lost, at this game you eagerly play
What is there left to feel?
When your greatest love gave you away?

Once in a while, it comes up behind you, and reminds you of how great it would be to feel it.
And once in a while, if you listen closely you can hear your parallel life succeeding, allowing you to fail miserably.
Why can’t I be on that side?
Why can’t I be her?
We share the same life with the same personality and we both have the same tendencies to cry and laugh.
We both love coffee and brown haired boys.
We both had everything we needed to be who we were born to be but she went ahead and did it.
She went positive and left me negative.
How did she do it?

Why couldn’t that be me?
