it's a draining process -
to constantly pour all of my love and devotion
into everyone
and see them turn their cheek
i'm the shiny nickel you saw on the sidewalk
that you didn't pick up
i'm the opportunity to skydive
that you declined
i'm the rays of the sun that glaze your skin on the beach
that you must protect yourself from
i'm the one that is liked but never loved
seen but never heard
cares but is uncared for
and is always the second choice
