I often felt that if I plunged
I would somehow misjudge
And find that I had fallen
Into the shallow end of the pool
Rejected at best
And most likely out of luck
When it came to second chances
The spotlight doesn't welcome everyone
And oftentimes it is those
Who wish to express themselves
That shun the expression of others
With a flick of a cigarette
Or a sip of cappuccino
At the table where they whisper
And I am uninvited
It doesn't make them better
It's just a small table in a coffee shop
Where they write for the allure
And we write for the release
