Always Second Place

Always too late Letting go of all the hate Never letting them see how bad it hurts Stuck in endless Deserts No one to believe Heart Burnt passed any degree Always hiding pain They look past time and time again Running away to the south Into the deap blue monsters mouth Never to come out to the sky The shadows now and forever an ally Always trying to keep up Wandering like a lost pup Sometimes behind Never ahead Just a mass constant agony and dread Never to find another half Knowing this by hearing they're stinging laughs Always having to wait The spirit they will desiccate Almost but not quite Forever in a loosing Fight Just shy of first place Always second place
