Inferior, I am
So says you
Learned pupil
Tutored, I am
Getting better
No offense meant or taken
Externally inside
The mockery is known
A step behind
And a step aside
Growing apart in my own way
In your shadow I will not stay
Bleeding heart, bleeding out
My art is worthless in the eyes of god
In the eyes of the infallible
I crumple, wither
Oh lamentable judgement
My best, and the best of me
Is never good enough
Always a step behind
Evolving at fixed rates
Separated at the same pace
How will I do it
How will I break free
Cycle, tandem, chained in and by
Self fulfilling inferiority
Always playing catch up
Catching on to what you got then
Always catching up
Incorrect in your eyes
Always playing catch up
Catching up to where you were then
Always catching up
But different in my own way
