1400
If choosing to live was much like a race I’d no doubt finish last
If everything revolves around time I’d be forgotten in the past
I hear so much about First place man it must be great
As much as I’d like to finally reach it all I can do is wait
Being stuck at the bottom so you can understand how easy it is to be over looked
It’s always been this way and if it was forever i wouldn’t be shook
Looking down from the bottom you look at all the other pieces get chosen
And as time carries on dead last I seem to be frozen
Despite always being the late pick
I don’t make a fuss as around i like to stick
Sometimes the first isn’t always helpful or even available
Even those who seem to always be around don’t even try to make you stable
As they continue choosing from one options to the next
I wait patiently as many might not expect
The first didn’t work and the next after pass which just made the chooser more hurt
Is there anyone left that wants to understand on this earth
I notice that I’m not the only one at the bottom but I see the others with me give up as they strongly desired to be at the top
So when it finally came their time to be picked their ties they began to chop
So there i am looking at the sky
And sit there thinking if I can try
The chooser so sad they have become and now they feel so alone
And over time the isolation they feel brings them a heart of stone
Yet with one more chance they decide to pick again
And what do ya know it’s my turn and my help I eagerly want to lend
I can see ones eagerness to help and all
But they can become so impatient after awhile and loose focus then their help begins to fall
I’ve come to understand that it may not be great having to be in last place
But when given the chance it’s worth it to finally put a smile on someone’s face
To be there for them when no one else would
To be able to be there for them and help them feel good
I’m not the most noticeable or even the brightest star to see actually my light is kinda dim
But if given the chance I’d like to shine what light I can offer from my gem
Despite being last one might can be the good piece and make for a good Ferrell
Being there for others even if I am at the bottom of the barrel
