images personified

She wanted to be like me
People had seen her walk
She walked just like me
They also heard her talk
She talked just like me
She often sat with a paper and wrote
Was it like me?
She kept to herself just silent
You said it was like me
Funny some people thought she was my twin sister
They couldn’t understand
When they looked at her they saw me
Mirrored back like a wraith
I bet when she looked at herself in the mirror she saw me
But how could she explain?
I tried to look for her but I couldn’t find her
Or maybe I was blinded
I told myself that the answers are within
And I tried to explain
We are not really the same but we are similar
We are cuts of different cloth
But of the same texture
We maybe be sharing the same blood group
But different rhesus
We are different pages of the same chapter
She was only my shadow not who I am

I was only a dream trapped inside her
Choking out her character
