I am left behind
In constant state of catching
Up flies another target
And I miss
Others came before me;
I am always second
at being in front,
or last.
Except when
You are watching, then
I always cross the line
First.
This strikes such a chord! I thought you might be me (too) ...love it
There is definitely an actor at work here. A richly rewarding poem about life and playing to a the gallery (or at least a particular member of it) . love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
A swoonworthy piece of humility and tenderness. t x
Maybe you are like I am in that I hate to follow fools and I hate fools to follow me., so I seldom am in front but more in the middle.

You're not doing bad at poetry either. Was trying to read it In constant state of catching up flies. Then I saw my error and it lost its humor and became a lovely little poem. Read mine -Who Am I - Adeline
