second

to D', because she's younger

second birth of three

second to you

(who has always been superior)

due to being seconds

(well, minutes)

later


second best, second hand,

off handed comments and remarks

mark my thoughts

i thought i was better

better try again

again i fall behind


always a step behind

because i was walking in your shadow

never forging my own path

merely replicating yours

such a shame that a life was wasted

duplicating the life of another

and still managed to fail at every step


guess that's what happens

when you come
