Second Best

Second Best

Deep in thought of my fears; I wonder what I have become
I fear the inside and outside of me, or even where I am
I used to be confident, outgoing, braving the outside world
I protect myself in a bubble; in a human form I’m curled

Rejection, second nature, second best is my best friend
Wanting to be the best but not making the mark, it’s the end
 I relentlessly rise like the phoenix time and time again
But the fire’s eaten the phoenix and now it is the end
