Third Place

i'm sitting on the table shining my best hoping to show that i'm more than that title plated across my golden exterior at the end of the day they take the first and second but me they left behind feeling unwanted and unappreciated just wanted to be in a home where everyone would be proud of me but instead i don't matter i'm in last place so they leave me here if i had a face you would see my tears then that one day a girl came last and i was assigned to her she held me up with so much pride took me home and polished me till i shine at that point i was happy because before i would long for someone to take me home when someone would pick me up i rejoiced and had hope only to feel disappointed when they put me back and walked away but with her i was like a first in her eyes for the first time in my life i wasn't third anymore
