Second Best

By Shashama

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I want to be the very best I wont settle for less I can't stand to be average I can't stand to be low I am very competitive And until you came I was the best At least in my eyes Then you showed up And suddenly In everything I do I'm somewhere down the list I don't want to be down there I want to be on top Call it selfish Call it what you will I don't care You wonder why You stress me out Because you make me Second best And I can't stand that Written February 18th, 2002 © on Feb 18 2002 04:42 AM PST, Shayla Carter   18 • 0 • 10
