Always an angel

never a god

Never the hero

Always taking the fall

Always the second lead

Never the main

The hint of the spotlight

Will always be a saving grace

Always the punchline

Never in on the joke

Always wondering

Are we really even that close?

Left to wonder

Others perception of me

Always looking into the distance

Praying for some grand epiphany

Always the angel

never the god

Success insufficient

Satisfaction a mere thought

To be done when I could do more

To be done, when others already are?

Never, no way

I have standards I’ve set

An image to maintain

Want to make history

Want to be one of the greats

Have my name carved into time

Be inducted into a hall of fame

Want to be remembered

Want to be revered

Want to inspire

All other young girls who feel

Like they are always the angel

And never the god

I tell you

take a step back

and look from afar

For your in your life may be

May be the star

The lead of your own story

You will end this life with your crowning glory
