Twin

I stare into a mirror
And I watch          
Her pink lips curled back    
She sneers        
Everything looks different in this lighting        
Like two separate heads dividing    
       
Her perfectly straightened hair        
Deep pink lips        
Warm chocolate eyes        
I've always hated her        
Even when her smiles were genuine        
I've hated her since she was born        
A perfect opposite        
Every imperfection passed down onto the unfortunate       
     
When I fell,    
She rose to the occasion    
Shoving my face into the dirt    
Of humiliation    
     
I couldn't love myself    
Because she was better at being me      
Than I ever could be    
Every day I was reminded      
I was just another copy    
Of the ugly side of perfection    
       
I am a shadow of who I used to be        
I am a trail left behind by her superiority        
She's everything and nothing like what I've always wanted to be
