When you are born alongside another

People assume you must be completely alike


You have a twin brother that is so cool!
You have a twin brother can you ever read his mind?

You have a twin brother you two must get along so good!


Why must the word twin means born on the same day

People treat it as if it means born as the same person


When you have a twin brother ar eyou always expected to be exactly the same?

A shared birthday does not mean we want the same toys


The same age does not mean we will be equal height

The same mother does not mean we will have the same fashion taste


People see twins like ying and yang meant to fit together

Meant to be together

Meant to like eachother


Its funny how two people who are supposed to be similar are driven apart by their own differences


Hes eleven minutes older than you! I would have never guessed!

They speak like eleven minutes makes a difference


He shares a birthday with you? That is so cool!

They dont know what it feels like to argue over who gets the party this year


They think that being born on the same day as someone is a gift

But when you are born with the same 


Home

Mother

Age


You find yourself comparing you to eachother with every turn


My twin brother can play  basketball so why cant I

My twin brother is popular so shouldint I be too?

My twin brother can memorize all fifty states so why not me?


Others expectations shift your own

They change my way of thinking


What one must have the other must too

What one must think the other must agree


When you are forced to agree

And live similarly


It only brings out your differences


Why do you hang out with the weird kids?

Why do you not?


Why do you like pineapple on pizza

Why do you only eat cheese?


Why dont you like noodles

Cant you see chicken is better?


Why do you hate me?

Why dont you love me?


Ying and yang

Tit for tat


Like being born on the same day defines your entire personality

Like a shared age means you share a personality


However every human has their own things

And when you are compared to them with every step you start to try to be different


You engage in arguments

You disagree on purpose

You annoy them for a reason


May 13th 2023 To teens have different parties, different cakes, different friends, different lives


You have a twin brother thats so cool!

They dont understand that others thinking we are cool


Is the reason we are not


Twin

It stand for sharing a birthdate
It stands for sharing the same womb

It stands for sharing the same parents


When will people see the fact that it will never stand for sharing the same life.
