Randomly inspired to write a poem. Hope
it turns out okay, enjoy
Just Like You
A clone, a replication, a shattered mirror reflection
A figment of greatness, an imposter of perfection
Mocked and belittled by everyone who knows my darkest truth
Though I know in my heart they're wrong, they say I'm nothing like you
I fail to aspire to your expectations and your goals
You look down on me for not fitting your impossible mold
Not a soul seems to believe I'll ever be something of use
But it hurts the most that I constantly mean nothing to you
Beginning to hate not only you, but my own blood and bones
I keep to myself, pushing away all and staying alone
No one could reach me, and it seems now that all but myself knew
Despite claiming hatred towards your name, I only wanted you
I try to deny it everyday, in my heart and mind
I shout it at the top of my lungs, but grudgingly find
That despite being so inferior, we both know it's true
Though I try my hardest to disprove it, I'm still just like you.
So, that's it. I know it's short, but I don't have the willingness to try and finish another stanza. It, in my head, progresses through Ayumu's feelings of Kiyotaka. At first he just sees himself as a reflection of him and as something inferior trying to be something so great and failing at it. The second stanza is Ayumu wanting to mean more to Kiyotaka than he does and reflecting on how,compared to his brother, he's really nothing. The third one gets more into his feelings of anger and hatred at always being compared and mocked about being inferior, but still wanting Kiyotaka back (pretty much his attitude in the anime). The last stanza is also going more into his feelings about Kiyotaka and how, in the anime, he's always trying to convince everyone (including himself) that he's nothing like Kiyotaka, though deep down he knows that he's more like his brother than anyone realizes. That's what I got from it, anyway, feel free to interpret it however you want. Review!
