Hello, I'm back, yes, it's me, the light one2, like I said on my page, I used to be the light one. But now I'm back with...SHADOW!!!
But first let me say that is was a close race between Shadow, My life and Perfect. And that it will start to sound a lot like the video for the song at the end.
The story: What if spyro had an older sister? And what if she was an overachiever? All this happening when Spyro's ten, Based on my own life, here's the story...
(I don't own anything that is not mine)
"SPYRO, GET DOWN HERE NOW!!!" A voice yelled
I was six years old
When my parents went away
I was stuck inside a broken life
I couldn't wish away
"Coming" Spyro yelled back "What now?" he said to himself
"Spyro," his parents said "we have to talk to you about your grades"
"What about them?" Spyro said
"They're too low" His parents said
"They're B's!!!!" Spyro half-yelled
"Exactly" His parents said
"But that's hardly what I'd call low" Spyro said
She was beautiful
She had everything and more
And my escape was hiding out
And running for the door
"Yes, but why can't you be more like your sister?" His parents said
"Because I'm not her" Spyro said "Goodbye"
"Spyro, you know that we only want what's best for you" His parents said, but spyro wasn't listening
"Why do they treat me like this?" Spyro asked himself
Somebody listen please
It used to be so hard being me
"I try as hard as I can, I do my best, and it's STILL not good enough for them" spyro said, not really caring who heard him
Living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Trying to find a hand to hold
But every touch felt cold to me
Living in a nightmare
A never-ending sleep
But now that I am wide awake
My chains are finally free
Don't feel sorry for me
The next day Spyro's sister, Liz, had another awards ceremony to go to for band (flute, drums, trumpet...) but Spyro didn't go, he was still mad.
"Why can't you be more like Liz, she's so perfect, get her grades, have her life, she has no clue how hard it is growing up after her." Spyro said to himself
All the days collided
One less perfect than the next
I was stuck inside some else's life
And always second best
Later that day, when the rest of Spyro's family came back, there was a party to celebrate Liz's award
"That's a surprise" Spyro said sarcastically
"You stop talking like that" Spyro's mom said
"What? She wins everything, every time, everywhere" Spyro said
"Yes, but you still need to go congratulate her" Spyro's dad said
"No" Spyro said
"Then go to your room" his dad said
Oh I love you now
Cause now I realize
That it's safe outside
To come alive
In my identity
"Fine" Spyro said before he ran to his room
"Why is he acting like that?" Liz said
"We don't know" Spyro's mom said
So if you're listing
There's so much more to me you haven't seen
Spyro was mad. Really mad. At everything and everyone.
And Liz was worried about Spyro.
"It's not like I WANT to win" Liz said to herself "all I want to do is be a role model"
Living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Trying to find a hand to hold
But every touch felt cold to me
Living in a nightmare
A never-ending sleep
But now that I am wide awake
My chains are finally free
Don't feel sorry for me
Spyro and Liz had rooms right next to each other, so their headboards to their beds were right against each other, if the wall were to vanish into thin air.
"She's so perfect" Spyro said "she's popular, nice, smart and pretty, and me? I'm the dorky little brother, what a lovely title" He leaned his head against the headboard of his bed, the same time as Liz did.
Mother, Sister, Father, Sister, Mother
Everything's cool now
Mother, Sister, Father, Sister, Mother
Everything's cool now
Oh my life is good
I got more than anyone should
Oh my life is good
And the past is in the past
Spyro stared at the one tiny award he had, it was for a play he did at summer camp, when he was five.
Liz stared at the many awards she had won over the years, one accomplishment after another, each one greater than the last
I was living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Trying to find a hand to hold
But every touch felt cold to me
Liz stared for a minute, then CRASH
In one swipe she had thrown half of her awards and trophies to the floor in anger.
"What the heck just happened?" Spyro said to himself
I'm living in a nightmare
A never-ending sleep
But now that I am wide awake
Yeah I can finally see
Don't feel sorry for me
Liz had also shattered her mirror, which was directly across from Spyro's mirror.
Somehow both mirrors shattered at the same time, causing some sort of a connection between Spyro and Liz
Don't feel sorry
Don't feel sorry
For me
And somehow, Spyro felt that he didn't need to grow up to be like Liz, and he started living his own life
Living in
Living in
Living in
A shadow
Living in
Living in
Living in
A new day...
THE END!!! Please review!!!
