Born from the same blood, made in your father's image.
He sees you through his mirror with narcissistic clarity,
the parallels of father & son.
I am his reflection through water-
a distorted, disfigured imitation.
To reach out meant dragging him to the bottom of the ocean,
anchoring him to his own demise.
My endeavors will never rival your accomplishments.
Tell me if I am unfit for your love, if my vying is apparent.
I'm afraid I've come across as desperate.
