I’m tired of coming in second place.
Overlooked and easily replaced.
Sometimes, I think this is just my fate.
An existence I hate
Is a life full of pipe-dreams.
I’m doomed to obscurity it seems.
I may be bitter but
I don’t mean to be inconsiderate
Or insinuate
That I’m ungrateful
In any way.
I’m not ashamed
For wanting more.
A claim to fame
And opened doors,
One day will lead
People to read
And leave me with
A legacy.
