the golden child did it again

I'm proud of you Jericho you won sate for your wrestling weight class. 
but I'm sick of being stuck in your shadow mom and dad are proud of you they never have been proud of me the way they are in you. I try to show them the things I do that I'm proud of but they don't care. 
they only care about you when they talk about me they see no future but when they talk about you its all promises and how your going to make it in life. while I'm stuck watching sometimes I feel forgotten even by my boyfriend. I wish I was you Jericho because you seem to have everything together for you well I have no clue what I'm doing I'm so sick of being stuck in our shadow I say I'm going to make a name for myself but by ding what? I'm happy for you but I feel like I'm just the stupid sister who has nothing left in my life I'm going to graduate soon and dad cant even take a day off for that but he can take the day off to see you wrestle Jericho I'm really am happy for you your going to do great things while I die slowly. I'm so happy for you good job little brother. I don't envy you okay who am I kidding of course I envy you. your perfect in mom and dad's eyes Jericho sometimes I wish I were you but of course you already know that I'm so sick of being stuck in your shadow and I don't know how to get out. mom and dad have had enough that they want me out but you I think they could care less if you stayed forever. why are you the golden child when we both  up and do the same things mom and dad just don't catch you. perfect little Jericho who can whoop your big sister butt. perfect little Jericho who owns up to everything. I wonder how mom and dad would feel if they found out you've done pot as well you've drank as well you sneak out just as much as I do. why do you get all of their love?
