HER SHADOW AND ME

Poem Commentary

THIS IS FOR MY BABY GIRL. GROWING UP I THINK SHE ALWAYS FELT LIKE SHE HAD TO DO BETTER BE BETTER, BE STRONGER THEN HER BIG SISTER WHO EVERYONE THOUGHT WAS JUST A BIG MESS UP IN HER OLDER TEEN YEARS. SHE FELT LIKE WE ALL PUSHED HER TOO HARD , AND YES AS A PARENT WE WANT OUR KIDS TO HAVE THE BEST AND BE THE BEST AND NOT MAKE OUR MISTAKES, BUT WE JUST HAVE TO DIRECT THEM BEST WE CAN AND PRAY FOR THE BEST , BEING A PARENT IS A LEARNING STEP TO GUYS, BUT MOMMY LOVES YOU BOTH ! AND I AM PROUD OF YOU BOTH! MISTAKES AND ALL. XOXO

HER SHADOW AND ME

ALWAYS STEPPING IN HER SHADOW

NEVER LIVING MY LIFE AS ME

HAVING SO MUCH TO PROVE

TO SHOW I WAS STRONGER

THEY JUST WOULDN’T LET ME BE

 

JUDGEMENTS BASED ON HER MISTAKES

UNABLE TO MAKE CHOICES OF MY OWN

BUT ALL THAT’S CHANGED NOW

NOW THAT WERE OLDER

NOW THAT WE ARE GROWN

 

SO IT’S MY FOOTSTEPS NOW WALKING THIS ROAD

THIS ROAD OF PAIN, HURT, AND INDECISION

AND SOMEHOW I’M WALKING IN THE SAME DIRECTION

EVEN WITH ALL THE ADVICE I WAS GIVEN

 

ALWAYS STEPPING IN HER SHADOW

MISTAKES AND CHOICES MADE OVER TIME

ONLY THIS TIME THERE NOT TYREE’S

THIS TIME THEY ARE MINE!

 

I KNOW THEY HAD THE BEST INTENTIONS

THEY WOULD SAY, “LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES”

BUT AS WE ALL KNOW LIFE AND HISTORY

TEND TO REPEAT ITS SELF

NO MATTER THE PATH WE TAKE

 

IV’E MADE MY CHOICES, MY PATH HAS BEEN SET

AND WHILE I MAY NOT KNOW WHERE IT LEADS

I KNOW MY JOURNEYS NOT OVER YET

AND IT’S MY STORY I NOW CHOOSE TO CREATE

 

NO LONGER IN HER SHADOW

FINALLY ABLE TO JUST BE ME

AND HERE WE ARE BOTH LIVING OUR LIVES

NOTHING SET IN STONE

FOR WE CREATE OUR OWN DESTINY

 

SO WHEN WE LOOK BACK LATER,

AT ALL WE HAVE DONE

I JUST WANT TO SAY,

 I LOVE MY SISTER TYREE

 

AND THOUGH MY LIFE WAS

CAST IN HER SHADOW

HER SHADOW

WAS NEVER BIGGER THEN ME         

TO KAYLA, I LOVE YOU- MOMMY 1.23.2013
