Runner up

The nurturer, never the nurtured The #2, never the #1 The afterthought, never the main The back of the mind, never the front The barely remembered, never the sought after All attempts, failed All connection, never lasting Always putting others in the 1st spot Only to become the runner up Never the prize Never the goal If they wanted to, they would But no one does No one will Fuck everyone! I wish for numbness Easier to feel nothing than to be nothing.
