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.
