Do I even need to begin?

Not anyone's first choice

Just the backup

The one that sits and waits on the shelf

Not the first person you go to

The spine that holds you together

Never first in your eyes

Always the second choice

Will I ever be first?

Giving up what could've been mine just to make others happy

Seen as a people pleaser

You didn't pick me to stay by your side

But I am only second place

Didn't mean to be a people pleaser

It just happened like so

Every year the silver medals for always being the backup

And never your first
