Second place

Have you ever been second? To know that you are second and that you will never be first; can you really live with it? And can you really say that you will never be second place? I use to say all the time, that if it just can’t be me, then I don’t want it, but here I sit now you’re right where you didn’t want to be. In that second place with nowhere to go. You can always quit the game but if you do then what else is there? Then you’re no place at all. I want to be first but for now I will settle for second.
