Second Best

Things could never change
No matter how they were meant to be
You twisted fate around
Now she plays the part of me.

Its all over and done with,
I put it in the past.
I was always told to deal with problems
because perfect moments never last.

you softly whisper in her ear,
And take her by the hand
You walk along the beach together
Engraving your initials in the sand.

"I love you forever
We shall never part.
Forever you will always complete
A small peice in my heart."

As I sit on the docks
Watching in a daze
Wondering just how jealousy
Became one of my ways.

It all began when I was "the one"
And I "stood out from the rest"
Now I have to live to learn
That I am only second best.

You are only what you let yourself be
as true and for real as you want
but if you could only just let yourself see
that inside you have much to flaunt

If it's just that easy to walk and find new
a someone to fill that blank spot
than he did'nt really deserve one like you
and he's not the one you should want

You're not second best if your out to be first
you've only just run the wrong race
cause fighters dont lose to be bound by a curse
they keep fighting 'till they find their place.

Girl, you'll never be second best when you find someone strong enough to run with you.  Dont ever give up, just let yourself heal so you're that much stronger next time    Great job, beautiful imagery.

Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer.

Ah, I know how this feels, but you should never let anyone make you feel like you aren't good enough. That's the only way that they can be right. Good poem.
