Second To Last Place

No one remembers
Second to last place
No one recalls
That name or that face

If you ask who came first
The crowd yells and cheers
If you ask who came last
The crowd boos and jeers

But the one standing next to him
Never gets called
There are no tomatoes
Just one huge brick wall

Deep one. And yes, I know that feeling. Nice one, Kai. :)
