About
The Way it Should be
It started out when we were young,
You were just so cute, the tiny one.
I was the average girl, the hyper little tot,
And who'da guessed, I was a bit of a snot.
You had the hair, the laugh, the face,
I was too tall, too weird, too outta place.
You had the twinkle in your eyes
I started wearing a disguise.
I was loud and bossy and mean,
You were quiet, subtle, and serene
I did sports and tried to stand tall,
I shoulda known you'd catch me when I'd fall.
When everyone cheered it was okay,
But I wanted your approval every single day.
Your secret smile, and sincere look,
Made me play harder, that's all it took.
You meant what you said, when you had something to say,
You didn't back down, didn't look the other way.
You didn't hide what you were, "who cares what they say?"
You're still like that, to this very day.
While I'm in my masks, I'll sit all alone.
Cuz, though you are quiet, your radiance shone.
Although I am loud, and I have all the fame,
I was jealous of you, it wasn't the same.
You were true all the time, you didn't pretend.
So I went to you, and hoped your help you'd lend.
Just being with you, pulled the real me out,
But I'm scared being me, so behind masks I'll shout.
Cuz while I was playing and joking around,
No one thought of the me inside making a sound.
I cried inside, these masks weren't me,
But you were the only one that could ever see.
Living pretend has a horrible fate,
I was the jock, the tease, the one who's always late,
Everyone always thought the same,
I was the dude, the leader, the one playing games.
But you turned around and took a second look,
You heard me crying, and all my masks took.
I was supposed to help you, not the other way around!
I was supposed to help you, the one who never makes a sound!
You, who was quiet, calm and real,
Looked to me trying to appeal.
The one who didn't argue, and didn't stand out,
Wanted to be funny, loud...wanted to come out.
I never thought you'd look up to me,
I was the one, without reality
And while I knew I envied you,
I never knew you envied me too.
You're my friend, you always were
I was sour, and you were sugar
And now we're both happy, both not afraid.
Because we'll always come to each other's aide.
You're you, and I'm me,
And that's how it should be.
Don't be ashamed, who cares what they say?
We have each other's back, come what may.
It started out when we were young,
Now You are the bold and daring one.
I am me, mask-less and free
And that's exactly the way it should be.
--To my best friend and cousin, the one who never judged me (and still thinks I'm a snot!)
