Second best

A Poem by Charlene

Have you realized how I live in your shadow
Wasting away watching you be one step better than I
I am always second best
A second behind you
You crave the attention and I bleed to feel alive
I call for help and you are stunned by my voice being able to call out
You panic and push me back into your shadow hiding me from the wrold
Suffocating me until I can't breath and call out again
Always second best
A second behind
In your shadow drowning forever
