Often neglected,
you are left
with nothing
to do
while your twin
works alone.
You watch
you wait
your fingers
fidget
until extended
a turn.
Yet,
when I grant
any freedom
to step up
you surrender
to the struggle
too soon.
I accept blame
It’s my fault
I didn’t rouse
your right
to spur a spirit
of discovery
to develop
your separate skills.
