Second Choice

SECOND CHOICE I wonder if you know what it's like to be second best Let me tell you it can beat you down And put you to the test Do you know what it's like To have someone else in front Of your wants and needs they are left to stunt Imagine if you will that someone else's time Is valued more than yours No matter how high you climb Can you picture yourself worthy Only if someone else is booked You're happy for a moment But soon realized you're overlooked What if you were to view a pretty bunch of flowers sweet Carried right past you without thought To be laid at someone elses feet To you this second choice seems better Than being no choice at all At least he's in your life somehow Leaving you wishing at YOUR feet he'd fall Someday your knight in armour Will come riding his white steed Through your door just keep it open Better this than being second, indeed. 11/21
