to know that you're a back up plan
it is horrible
to be second best
it is horrible
when you're just the person some turn to when in need of comfort
because they couldn't find what they were looking for in someone else. someone else more important.
it is horrible
to leave the day questioning your self worth
it is horrible
to be the second best.
do not mistake yourself for a guardian. or a muse. or a promise. or a victim, or a snack. you are a woman, skin and bones, veins and nerves, hair and sweat. you are not made of metaphors. not apologies. not excuses.
