I’VE WATCHED YOU SINCE YOUNG
MOLDING MY STEPS AFTER YOURS
EMULATING YOUR STYLE
VISIONING THE PART OF ME
THAT CAME FROM YOU.
I INHERITED YOUR LOOKS
SOME OF MY TALENTS WERE
YOURS FIRST AND ALTERED
BY MY UNIQUENESS
BUT THE ORIGIN IS CLEAR.
ROUGH AND RIGID WITH A KINDNESS
MASKED IN HUMBLENESS I’VE
STOLEN YOUR EMOTIONAL NATURE
BUT IT’S PRESENTED OTHERWISE.
THE FIRE THAT IS YOUR PASSION
IS A FLOWING WIND WITHIN ME
CALMING AND GENTLE WITH THE
ABILITY TO TURN POWERFUL NOT
OFTEN RECOGNIZED AS YOURS
BUT TO ME THE ORIGIN IS CLEAR.
I AM DIFFERENT TRIED TO BE
A MIMICRY OF YOU BUT FAILED
DEVELOPED INTO A VERSION I
DON’T RECOGNIZE AS YOU.
YOU STAND PROUD THOUGH
REGARDLESS OF NOT SUCCEEDING
IT WASN’T WHAT YOU WANTED
A CLONE WASN’T YEARNED FOR
BUT INSTEAD AN INDIVIDUAL
BESIDES, THE ORIGIN IS CLEAR.
SOON I’LL BE THIRTY-FOUR
YOU SHOULD PROBABLY BE
ADDRESSED AS FATHER BUT
NO YOU’RE MY DADDY AND
FOREVER WILL REMAIN SO.
I’VE WATCHED YOU SINCE YOUNG
MOLDING MY STEPS AFTER YOURS
DIDN’T RESULT IN BEING JUST LIKE YOU
BUT COULDN’T BE HAPPIER THAT
MY ORIGIN IS CLEAR.
