SPIN THE COMPASS

I wanted
to be like him
For I thought
He's beautiful,
full of red apples
so tempting.
Your eyes --
so tempting.
But then I realize
I dont want to be
a mirror of him
for he doesnt deserve me.
The love I can give,
It's he who cant afford.
The life I can offer,
It's he who couldnt have.
For atlast, for once
I realize, Im better,
have to get out
of his shadow
and push him far away
wherever I want him to go.
