PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

In this demented world I can never be the best

I can never be the top or even beat the rest

I always come in two and never come in one

I’m always the moon at night and never the sun

I never shine as bright as other people do

I never get to be, anything but number two

I thought I was the one that you held so dear and true

It turned out I was wrong I was never one to you

I was second to love, I was second to care

I was second to hold you when no one else was there

I was second to call if something gave you fright

I was second in your heart and wasn’t right

So I gave up all together in being number one

I’ll always be two in everything because I’ll be outdone
