The Copy.

I watched you from a distance
You and your deceitful ways
My heart dropped in an instant
Because by your beauty, they were swayed

I began to contrive a plan
To be a better version of you
But than I began to understand
Originals are too few

I wanted to do it better
And watch you envy me
But then I realized that hearts are severed
When you do things out of jealousy

And so I've let it go
The feelings that I held inside
For there's something I've come to know
Something to which I had been blind

While you live as a copy
I'll be consistently me
You do what you want
But I'd rather be unique.

Your poems actually remind me

Your poems actually remind me of my own work a lot, I don't know if its the structure or whatever it is, but yeah. I liked this one a lot :)
