Always the bridesmaid never the bride

Take a look inside

Maybe you’ll see why

I’m sure there are no cracks

No places where I lack

No truths that I deny

If I smile a little wider

Or if my weight is a little lighter

Surely, if I try

How dare they not even see me!

I wear no cloak of invisibility

Those jerks deserve to die!

Or maybe I must,

I lack all but lust

I trip, I sink, I cry

I remember not my very own name

My identity burning, I threw it in the flame

Who the hell am I?

Could I be more than a partner?

Perhaps if I journey farther

My body heaves a sigh

Always the bridesmaid never the bride

For those walking down the aisle, no smile will I hide

I smile, leap, and finally fly
