Number Two

Hey..

Can I..

"No, let's do this for HER instead."

Oh,

Wouldn't it be nice to..

"Oh, what would HE want?"

"What would they prefer?"

"We have to make sure he is comfortable."

"Let's cook what she likes."

"You have to do this for everybody!"

The words that this girl has to hear...

This girl who...

Drives herself around,

Even with the option to NOT be the driver.

Serves others food first,

Even though she's the hungriest.

Orders her own birthday cake.

Fixes her own problems.

Puts everyone else.

FIRST.

Because she is...

SECOND.

In everyone else's life.

Sometimes...

A number even further down the line.

Prioritise me no more.

For I now don't even care.

I crave to be ZERO.

So that I can be like you...

Self-centered.

Selfish.

So I don't have to care...

I can stay

NOTHING

Because having been number two

All my life

In everyone's lives

Is not something I want

Or accept

Anymore.
