In the Shadow

My brother was great, my sister was too
But they looked at me and said "What happened to you?"
"Your brother is smart, your sister has wit.”
"But all you ever do is sit."
"You'll never be clever, you'll never be great.”
"It seems that failure will be your fate."
From their tormenting I'll never be free
I am this way because no one helped me
I tried hard, as hard as I could
But without help, I never understood
They helped my siblings, but no not me!
They wanted me to struggle for eternity
And so I did, without a single friend
I desperately wanted my life to end
There was no one to care
They were barely aware
I sat and cried
Waiting for someone to care if I died
And as I waited
My spirit faded.
With no happy spark
I was stuck in the dark
And it began to show
That I was in the shadow
