This poem kinda' doesn't make sense and is pretty depressing. Oh well. Hope you like.

Sidekick

I feel like a superhero sidekick
Whenever I'm with you
Everybody crowds around,
To get a glance at you.

Next to you I'm average
Tall, gangly, awkward
Next to me you're beautiful
Kind, fair, shining
It's only natural they go to you.

I'm just a sidekick.
People say how lovely you are
While I stand there plain.
Sometimes it makes me sick.
Sometimes I want to make you ugly
Like me.

Am I really your friend?
Or am I some soul you pitied.
I'm not stupid you know
I see the looks you give me
All self righteous and berating me
Disparaging the way I choose to live

Maybe it's the only way I can survive.
Shoving myself into shadows,
Drowning under water,
To stand beside you
And be your sidekick
