Footsteps

The desire to walk in your footsteps,
not to disappoint but to please.
With every choice I make, I let you down.
Not because of it, but because of who I am.
Being capable is not an option.
Being capable is a longing.
Having the chance to take control,
to do what I want,
to be happy.
But the need of your presence forces me back.
To forget about myself and focus on you.
In your eyes, my life will only end in failure.
But don't worry about me, i'll be "alright".
Your blondie child is moving on faster than you think.
So look straight ahead,
don't take the chance to blink,
because the only thing you'll miss...
Is someone walking in your footsteps.
