Living in Your Shadow

by Cherishly♥♥♥

Erk-Pent

Good job Erk!
They would say
After my hard work

I casted fire
Not the greatest spell
But I was still something to admire

In a moment, everyone forgot I was
'Cause

They saw you
Cast Elfire
Something I have dreamed to do

You smile in pride
While all my self confidence
Has already died

I smile a weak smile
As I watch you get praised
And leave after awhile

I walk along a path
Of self defeat
And wrath

It doesn't make sense
To steal their moment
And lock their joy behind a fence

Goals are something you can achieve
Dreams
Are just left for thieves

My goal is to be a better mage
My dream is
To become the best sage

But, as long as I'm in your shadow
I just might as well let
all my goals lie fallow.
