Why are you so perfect?
Everyone loves you,
You're talented in every way,
How can you have no major flaws?

You aren't afraid of anything,
You know how to do everything,
You're far smarter than me,
You have no idea how much I envy you.

You never make mistakes,
You're never unhappy,
You've conquered everything in your path,
How are you so strong?

Why are you so perfect?
I've always loved you
And I feel so inadequate compared to you,
Why can't I be you?
This poem is about my major jealousy towards my older brother. My brother is a successful artist, he works very hard, he makes lots of money doing what he loves, he's training to become a personal trainer, he's very popular, he's very confident in himself, etc. He just always seems so perfect and it just makes me really jealous. I hate that I feel that way though, so I wanted to get those feelings out. (Also, my brother is covered in tattoos and most of his art is spray paint art so that's why I titled the poem that)
