Your Little Echo

It may seem like I want to do everything
that you've ever done, it's true
that I sometimes wait
until the coast is clear
(no fear) that I'm just a shadow
a mimic
I go to rediculous lengths
to prove myself
separate
from
you.

I'm wrong to say you haven't had
an effect on me but
(see here) I'm more than just your
little echo.
I've got my own frame of mind.
Rewind the cry
of smothering love.
It's just Independent
me.

This is great. Everyone feels like they are in someone else's shadow, and you've put that collective feeling quite nicely here.

Excellent, Nicky, really excellent. I know I've felt like this in the past.

I wonder who this is? A sister? A lover? Doesn't matter it's so well done.
