I always thought we were the same 
but as we grew the differences came
our parents, while the same in name
treated us each with a different aim

forlorn, this feeling so strange 
knowing we grew up in the same range  
mom and dad tried their best 
but they couldn't ever give us an even test 

I bled myself hoping that their expectations would be met
all along you were the only asset 
you're like a soaring tree
whose canopy will never let me flee

I became accustomed to inhaling the doubt
forced into the periphery throughout
no two kids have the same parents 
the realization is discombobulating and apparent
