Being The Sidekick
March 13, 2021
The supporting friend
tried and true
you’re the big winner
always me after you.
They forget who I am
so they call me your name
I do the work for you
but you get the fame.
I walk in alone
they always ask where you are
there is no me without you
you’re the brighter star.
I tag along behind you
like an annoying tick
every story has a hero
and I will always be the sidekick.

I am a junior in high school from Oklahoma who loves writing poems about what I have experienced in my life and this is one of those. I have always felt outshined by my best friends and this poem shows how many teenagers feel about being the "other friend" in high school.
