Second Best

Lost in the dark with no stars to guide me home,

Forever I have walked through the darkness all alone.

Expendable, worthless, stupidity, all these words bear my shame.

For all the awful things you could say to me, I can call them all by name.

Don't try to follow me, For my footsteps are misguided.

Lost in the dark, I have no will to look for the path, no urge to find it.

I learned my place in which I stand, oh so long ago.

Way back to the time of which I didn't walk alone.

But I've since learned my place next to you, for I knew I fell below the rest.

Because when I am compared to you, I'm always just a second best.

I'm not important, my existence has no meaning.

For all the nights I walk alone, I train my mind by day dreaming.

I prepare myself for the day that you fall short of me.

Because by then, second best will only be but a great opportunity.

I will turn my backs on them, just as they have done.

For the darkness has accepted me, and I no longer see by the sun.
