Always
Always second
Never first
Always an option
Never chosen
Always an acquaintance
Never a friend
Always okay
Never enough
Always the listener
Never the listened to
Always good.
Never the greatest.
Why is it always that I stand in someone else’s shadow?
Why am I always hiding behind the group?
Following along the the grass while everyone else walks along the sidewalk
Always asking what happened? while everyone else already is over it
Never included in the secrets
Never invited out
Never heard
Never wanted.
Why is it that I can’t ever seem to keep up?
Can’t fit into the group completely
Never feeling included
Maybe it is my own doing
Maybe it is my fault
I have different interests
Different hobbies
Maybe I am not pretty enough
The scale is too high to be defined as attractive
That must be it
Never enough.
