Allure

How did this happen 

when did we get so caught up 

in being someone's number one

that we forget to put ourselves first
we're so enamored with the allure

of being by someone's side

that we fail to take advantage 

of the time we have to ourselves 

not saying there's anything wrong 

with being by someone's side 
and having that support
from someone who loves you
but there's still nobody else
that can live your life for you
so if you ever find yourself alone
ask yourself this question
what am I doing with my time 
because I can't grow as a person
if I'm always complaining about
not being by someone's side
or not being their number one
just be your own number one
because when you put yourself first 
no one else matters
