I'm always there,
Included but not chosen
Seen but not looked for
Loved but with leftovers

I'm always there
Watching what I wish for
Wanting what I can't have
Waiting for someone

I'm always there
Always helping
Always caring
Always laughing at jokes not meant for me

I'm never there
I'm never their first thought
I'm never their first choice
I'm never in the back of their mind

I'm never first
Never forgotten either
They have their number one
I have no one
Never first never forgotten

This is deep and well written, I like the structure of the poem. In the poem I noticed a lot of oxymorons within the final lines of each stanza. I feel like the 2nd stanza, last line could do with having an oxymoron to aid the flow and to enhance the structure of the poem
