when the trinket has some spines
like the mighty saguaro
the treasure has less shine
when you're the runner up
and the trophy is not as large
as the one they gave first place
but you didn't try as hard
when you run out of reasons
or you're winded from the chase
and it all seems less important
that's the answer that you gave
when you mean more to you
than anyone ever could
and you leave the others hurting
thinking you're misunderstood
