for years i have been trying to find out who exactly i am. for majority of my life i was merely a shadow in the towering grandgure of my sister. always second best in the light of her. that was what i was. it was an unstated fact. however as i grew up and continue to, my true self is yet to be found. what i am now, is not what i want to be; its not what i need to be. what i am now still second best. and i... and i am still nothing but a shadow of my sister. however, this is all in the eyes of my parents. to the rest of the world i am my own self. I no longer stand on the podium of first second or third. i am just there. i am just me. and no one can take that away from me. my wings are always able to spread and span to their fullest potential, but when the gripping hands of the owner handle me, i am reduced once again to nothing.
