The other son

I'll always be a shadow.
 
A shadow of who you are.
 
I'll never be that one.
 
No, I'll never be you.
 
 
 
I'll always be the other son.
 
The one everyone forgets about.
 
I won't travel the world.
 
I won't impress the ladies.

I'll never have a wife.
 
I won't have a new jeep.

I'll never have a happy life.
 
No, I'll never be you.
 
 
 
You have the military and for dad that is enough.
 
I have nothing.
 
Nobody will ever call me tough.
 
Hell I can't even impress my own damn parent.
 
But I'm your brother and to me that's something.
 
You are a husband an uncle and a son.
 
And me? I'll always be the other one.
 
Because I'll never be you
