Always second best

Time dissipated into the night 
Love thinning fast in the fight 

Hopes of a mirror image 
This story nearly finished 

Never acing your test 
Always being second best 

Mothers swooping in 

                                        Toast 

My second glass of gin 

Sipping all my fears 
no one ever hears

Slowing fading in the distance
No more immature resistance

Maybe one day you'll see 
Everything I can be 

But now I'm locked away 
So you don't have to stay 

Your mom has open arms 
She beat me with her charms 
Every action sounds alarms ,
Forever causing harm
