Alrighty. I believe this one should be placed in Dark Thoughts.

What prompted me to write this was a realization I had while re- reading a favourite series, the Dragonlance saga. One of the characters,Raistlin, is a mage on the verge of becoming evil, simply because his envy for his younger brother had grown out of control. To my disgust, I found I could relate. This was the result.

I might be Raistlin

She is kinder than me

He is stronger than me

For all intents and purposes, she's better than me

It's wrong to resent my sister, but she has a life was meant for me

I can't fill the mould that was cast for me, so now she wears the crown

I do have power

A little power

But not all my power.

She has it.

The role of eldest should be mine but it's given to her

I am eldest, but she is more likeable

Cheated out of my inheritance because I have a cruel face

I should accept it

Maybe the place was never mine

I do have my own power

I should be satisfied but here I am

On the verge of donning the black cloak that will seal my fate

I am twisted

I'm blinded by my sense of pride

hastening the apocalypse just to replace the power denied me

By my sister

The sister that did no wrong

We were equal, in all eyes but my own

Now I must pay for my sickening envy

The resentment that bent me

The insecurity that broke me

I am not human

I am a mere beast

The allure of a place I cannot reach draws me into madness
