Always an angel, never a God.
Always a poet, never the poem.
Always the artist, never the muse.
Always the photographer, never the photograph
Always the canvas, never the art
Always the option, never the decision
Always the second, never the first
Always the beggar, never the chooser
Always the giver, never the receiver
Always the bridesmaid, never the bride
Always the clasp, never the pendant
Always the listener, never the heard
Always an angel, never a God.

This is, of course, in homage to the song, "Not strong enough." I know many people on the internet have made their own poems playing off this song, and this is my take on it.
