Monkey in the Middle

Are you content being a sidepiece? Second place always has a whole lot to prove. Since when does second place become a top spot. Second in command seems to be the place to be. Sidepieces are anxiously waiting to be picked. You do not have the option of saying no. You must aim to please at all times. Number one doesn't have to do anything other than cook and clean the house. Number two you better be hanging from the ceiling. You are on-call at all times. You have to follow rules and you practically have no rights. Do not show up to the house unannounced, always know your place which is second, kissing on the lips is prohibited, always remember you have rules not rights. You are not the mate you are the sidepiece you chose to take on this role so deal with the consequences. You do things on their terms only. Let's not get it twisted there are people who are complacent with the second spot. They would rather not bother with commitments or the complex dynamics that a relationship entails. Some people prefer to date people who are otherwise involved. It the thrill of the chase you want what you can't have. There is something so alluring about that. You can be the freak he needs without worrying about how his day went. Just take off your clothes and assume the position. There is something so wrong with this picture. Complacency has never been a comfortable spot ever. Yet so many of us are sitting pretty on the sideline. Knowing we will never be picked first. When will you be done proving yourself worthy?
