Second choice

I'm the girl who is never good enough. Not for her friends, her family, boys, anyone. I'm the bounceback. I'm the second choice.

I'm the girl who never does the job well enough. I'm the wasted potential. I'm the girl who could have done so much better if I had just tried.

I'm the girl that watches snapchat stories of all her friends having fun on the weekends while she sits and thinks of how no one invited her and she wishes someone will come knocking on her door, looking for her.

I'm the girl who never wants to go to family things. Never wants to sit down and eat dinner together and talk, never wants to go see that new movie with her family and always gets the glare meaning, you should try harder to be an actual part of this family who contributes meaningfully.

I'm the girl who watches everyone around her getting asked out and asked to dances. I'm the one who gives advice on relationships even though she's never been in one herself. I'm the girl who sees everyone being giddy over their first kisses and all that. I'm the girl who watches everyone around her in happy relationships while she sits and hopes for one herself.

I'm the girl that gets judged by strangers on the street for no reason at all. I'm the girl that tries to be nice to everyone but in return gets glares. I'm the girl who waves and gets eye rolls as acknowledgement, who says hey and is totally ignored.

I'm the girl that everyone goes to as their 3rd or 4th option. I'm the one that gets invited over only when there's a feud between the main people in a group.

I'm the girl that no one cares about until they need her.

And it sucks.
