Never Alone
I was born a twin
Throught my life of whom I've been compared to
Not only do we share a room but we share lives
We share family, friends, teachers, secrets, fears, and dreams
It sounds pretty cool
And it shaped who I am today
But I made it my mission to be different
She was an artist, I an athlete
She was talkative, me quiet
She claimed attention, I was witty
If she liked pink I liked blue
She loved cats I loved dogs
None the less we got called each others names
Had "twin" days
Said the same thing at the same time
That happens a lot actually
We hated sharing clothes fought every minute
But I learned what's important
What to fight about
And we could be loving and gossiping the next minute
When times were tough we had each other and each other to blame
And it's not like the movies
We could never trade places
But I wouldn't want to
Because I learned to be myself
I mean who else is gona be me? My sister
Pshhhh yeah right
She may be my twin but that is one role
She cannot pull off
Throught my life of whom I've been compared to
Not only do we share a room but we share lives
We share family, friends, teachers, secrets, fears, and dreams
It sounds pretty cool
And it shaped who I am today
But I made it my mission to be different
She was an artist, I an athlete
She was talkative, me quiet
She claimed attention, I was witty
If she liked pink I liked blue
She loved cats I loved dogs
None the less we got called each others names
Had "twin" days
Said the same thing at the same time
That happens a lot actually
We hated sharing clothes fought every minute
But I learned what's important
What to fight about
And we could be loving and gossiping the next minute
When times were tough we had each other and each other to blame
And it's not like the movies

Pshhhh yeah right

Ha-ha. I'm a twin, too. My brother went into acting, and so I didn't. We both played the cello in school, though. When we played duets it was said at times that when we each had the same note to play it sounded like one instrument, we were so in tune with each other at those moments.
So eventually you did start writing, though, and again, near perfect execution in this piece. But in the second line, I think maybe you could say "throught the life of whom..." instead of "throughout my life of whom..." Just a change of one word there. And in line 5 the word "sounds" is missing an "s" at the end of it. Anyway, again, great piece.
