In My Image

I made you in my image
So you could have everything I’m proud of.

I asked you to be observant so you could see
Everything I’m too oblivious to hate about myself
(And all I’m painfully aware of).

I hoped you’d have her fire so you could
Warm the world around you
While I have waned.

She said you look like me
And I say you look like her
From the nose down.
And I guess that’s the point.
