    Last InLine

    Never first in your lifeNot even good enough for second

    Only third in your worldEverything comes before I do

    I just sit and waitUntil you decide you can use meFor something to your advantage

    Then kick me to the curbWhen youre done

    I wait for that dreadful dayWhen you decide

    To take out the trash for good

    Be, or Not?

    To be, or not?Thats what has been asked

    If I beBe what?

    If Im not to beThan what am I?

    Where do I find the answer?Must I lead a journey?

    Must I learn?Am I to meet someone?

    Or become solitaire

    Will I create my answer?Only to find there is no proof

    No More TearsI have few tears left to cryI must stand out in the rainThe skys my new source

    The raindrops are my tearsThey wash down my faceMy whole body drowns

    I dont want to cry anymoreBut the tears knock on the door

    They shout, they sayLet us outLet us playLet us slide

    I shout backI will not open the door

    But I was wrongI was nave

    For I forgot to place a lockOn that door

    The tears were strongThey broke down the door

    They flooded my eyesThey slid down my face

    I could not keep them from running, from playingMy dry, pale cheeks

    Now wet, reddened with sadness and pain
