I'm the nameless one,
I'm only a face that
"Looks just like her."
I'm the one always living
In the shadows.
I'm just another person
For them to judge,
I'm only one more being
That they say
Is good for nothing.
"You'll never be like her."
They don't even know me.
They couldn't care less
About who I really am,
To them,
I'm just "Her sister."
To them,
I'm only "Her mini-me."
It's like they haven't noticed
She's gone now.
They've left me here
In the shadows
Of someone who's non-existant,
Someone only living
In old news articles and memories.

To them,
I'm just the name less one
Living in the shadows. [comments] => 13 [counter] => 216 [topic] => 61 [informant] => hooray_its_jen [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 37 [ratings] => 9 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )

I bet she's never written such a good poem!
Yes, you'll be somewhat judged here, but we've got no idea about the rest of your life, only what you'll share with us, the impressions you'll make, and the imprint you'll make on our hearts. Hope you post some more great poems like this one.
Bravo!!! Encore!!! And most of all...
Welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love,
Chelsea

Very well done! I'm sure you'll find, as I have, that YPDC is a safe haven. Let whatever may fall out onto the page - we are honored to have a peek at what's inside. This is a wonderfully heartwrenching offering. *sigh* Thanks for sharing it!
