Second Choice
I am the woman
who is always second choice
Boys scurry like roaches
when I dare speak my mind—
dare to possess a voice

I am the woman
who is always second best
Never my loyalty,
only his—
seems put to the test

I am the woman
who always comes in second place 🥈
Never am I the prize to be won—
only ever
just a phase

I am the woman
sat opposite from a ghost
Vanished when his interest
wasn’t piqued by me
foremost

I am the woman
seeing dead rise from the ash
Weasels wishing to weasel back
‘cause things went south
with the last

I am the woman...
