Number One


Always come first, Never second place, it didn't exist to you In my book, most things came before you Always had and always will. In the beginning, thought the feeling was mutual We were synonyms, same definition. Then things came, people came A priority I thought I was but never was At least not you Me, I'm an option, a choice, a last resort You go through every other possible answer before considering me I try to understand, make excuses You have to be sure to choose the right answer Process of elimination I'm never right You eliminate me Or that's just how I feel Maybe I'm just the distractor choice. Now here's a question and I'm not a choice Can't be eliminated When will I come first? a) never b) next week c) now d) I don't know
