Second

Treated like a second hand class citizen in the home you were raised in

Surrounded by family who were simply amazing

Fast forward and all the flaws flew in

Who knew a child's mind could hide all those sins

The arguments hidden as simply adults talk

Only when adulthood approaches you were brushed off as a second thought

Although your mind was a garden of deep thoughts and advice

Wisdom should not be sought from one with such a simple life

Simple life, simple thoughts

Do not open such a door that may only lead to time wasted

Although wide eyed by the possibilities of life

Open minded, quick thinking, such potential may not be wasted

By those meant to care the most

Heart broken a million times over

Although shattered brought back together much stronger

Tears of fear, tears of anger

Tears of determination to be much better that what was thought of

Mistakes may be made in such an endeavour

But who's life is free from it?

A showpiece is not who I will be

The pinnacle of good behaviour

Goodness is vast, it is rich

It may be found in the most rebellious actions

Think of me what you will

It means nothing.
