Runners Up.

About those that gave their best but didn't win,
Those that missed out by the tiniest of margins,
The near victors that didn't win or got a medal,
The runners ups, the silver and bronze medals,
We don't really talk about them enough,
Even though, they matter a lot.

It's not love, If it hurts, takes, and steals, And never gives, deals, or heals, It's a facade, at its peak. @Toobrightanthony 📸Alena Darmel@pexels
