silver

Fuckin loser, you were this close shoulda pushed harder just one tiny bit more step closer you had it by this much woulda placed now its a disgrace coulda came home with the gold struck rich and sold your hearts to millions of fans wat kind of man are you? 2 seconds after that pistol shot all the doubt in my mind came racin close to me like a ghost, tauntin me whisperin soft and heavy as my feet dragged my soul chained to the start line at the same time. I peak to the back lookin for bronze and not once did I picture myself behind him. I tried, to do the best I could, woulda had it shoulda been good. Fuck that better. No don't settle for nothin but the best. But I'm not born to place in first. 2nd place was a gift and a curse. I won't be the type to ever gloat, I'd still get silver tho it wasn't gold. I'd never be full never be satisfied, but I can always say atleast I tried. I'm more than the 3rd I'm first to him, but I'm second in class a loser who wins. Wins not the glory or the glamour, but bruises. I used to chase to that dreaded place. I've settled in the best possible case. But whoever said silver was okay never got to that next level. I can relate to it more than anybody. I'm that guy in the middle of nobody and somebody. Anybody. Who can it be? Anyone you see. Winners and losers have an identity. I placed 2nd to first and 2nd to last. I'm in the middle of some dick and an ass. I hate both them mufackers. They screwed me in this spot, never to drop or exceed, I'm in between those wants and needs. No clue why I'm gifted with words written down and in person I'm foolish like a clown. The bestfriend but not the betterfriend...cmon you know that shit makes a little bit of sense. Best man for this chick who's with a dick she comes for consolin back to him now she's lovin. Best in his heart with best intentions, no follow through his confidence lacks and withdrew from competition. He's certainly got the skill to outsmart common wit, but to step up to the champion status he quits. Almost in perfect sequence. 1 2 fall flat on the floor. Its a shame he won't be gleamin for gold. He look damn good in the silver piece, almost a whole though never complete. There's never an endin to that 2nd place, til you make another story of another race.
