Second best

The sound of the cheering, that's never for you

you feel so close, but your dreams don't come true

shunted to second, that's all you'll ever be 

better get use to it, because that's how life's always been for me

The sound of applause, the hands that clap

the look on your face, the shocked slap

you've tried so hard, but your effort is ignored

after it's done your alone and sore

The squeal of the winner, in your face

you've lost all your hope, which can't be replaced

shunted to second, that's all you'll ever be

better get use to it, because that's how life's always been for me

Never first,

always second best

awesome poem this is written really well. But I don't believe this is about you because you are the best at everythingg!!! Seriously.

Really good poem, but I think it has a better meaning. I can kind of get what your talking about but you gotta remember that you are second best for one thing but your best for kindness and funniness and everything else, that's just as important.
