This poem is about someone who feels like they are always the second choice and the fat funny friend. They feel like they are never loved, cherished, trusted, seen or cared for by anyone. They have low self-esteem and no hope for the future.
I'm always the second choice
The one they don't love back
When their first love leaves them cold
And they need someone to fill the gap
I'm always the fat funny friend
The one who hides their pain
But never the one they cherish
Or want to see again
I'm always the loyal listener
The one who nods and smiles
But never the one they trust
Or want to stay a while
I'm always the shadow in the crowd
The one who goes unseen
But never the one who shines
Or has a chance to dream
I'm always the second choice
The one they don't care for
And I know I'll never find someone
Who'll make me feel like more.
