It's a Trap

Have you ever seen someone following so close in your footsteps that you almost feel like they're actually in the same pair of shoes you once walked in?  You want to push them down and tell them, don't do it, it shouldn't be so one sided.  Just realize you want something more and deserve something more... but that isn't how life works and that isn't how we get those lessons under our belt.  Pain is ineviable but it sure would be nice to soften it for others...
