When you were born it was
A quick whisper thought
Parallel to my life in that there were
Lots of drugs and I
Only truly know the afterthought
New little person
For you I broke limits I knew not that I yet knew
I watch you grow.
This sickening feeling prevails that
I'm not capturing enough
experiencing enough
being enough
Photos and videos can't capture you
Yet already performing for the camera
You're me
I have this spiderweb hope
If I can BE
Then we can BE
Not better, love, never better than you.
But somewhere distant I dream
Of something equally influential and starstriking.
