I Aspire to Be You

Each one of you posses a gift that I desire.
I concede, you are better than I. Shame.
That's all I have and I try to own it,
But why keep something so undesirable?
Not to be selfish, but I want the best for me.
You are the best because you're better than I.

You see, I yearn for what naturally comes to your mind.
It's the way you create. You could say I aspire to be you.
An artist, that is. You are one. And to be honest,
I prefer your work over my own.

Can I ever create something as well as you?
Even now, you could write these words better than I.
I know you can. As repetitive as it may sound,
I envy you. They say repitition is the key to learning,
But I've repeated everything about you in my mind.
I'm still unable to fathom how you create beauty.
