Substitute for a Friend
Blinded by the ecstasy;
The mirth, and mayhem of wonder;
Blinded by the insanity of my joy;
Days of awe and craze;
But slowly, my eyes clear;
And my perception is enlightened;
I was never a first choice;
I was just what was left;
Scraped off the bottom;
And we became "friends";
I realise now it was all a lie;
I was just a substitute while you found your wings;
It seems as though you've found them;
But still you act like we're fine;
Just tell me the truth;
Take the hints;
I know what this is;
I'm second place;
I'm nothing to you;
I'm a substitute;
A fake best friend.
