Sisters Shadow

I was Living in my sister's shadow 
While you made me feel 
Like I wasn't good enough 
Cause I wasn't like her.
I wasn't smart like her.
And I didn't dress like her.
I wasn't good enough
To be in your presence
So you pushed me away
Not wanting me around.
I was never good enough 
For you 
Cause I had autism and was 
Different then her.
You wanted some one 
To fit your perfect image.
To fit your perfect family
That you created.
