My Biggest Fear

Is Becoming You

My Biggest Fear

My biggest fear is becoming you.

When I look in the mirror I try to wipe away the similarities in our faces,

scrub away all of the habits I hold on to,

as a lasting effect of your regime over my mind,

and push away the words of every person that's ever told me that I am just like you.

They never saw the you that I saw,

but if they had,

I would like to think that they would tell me

I am better and will be better

then you ever were.
