Waiting In The Wings

Im just the same as all of you
no matter what you say or do.
i know im not pretty or even smart,
iv never been any good of art,
i cant shot a ball threw a net
if it involves maths ill just forget,
i cant style hair,
i cant build a chair,
if you hand me a map then you'll go no where,
but if you look beneath these things,
you'll see me standing in the wings,
hearing things only i can here wishing i could disappear,
mocking life, claiming i can bluff,
knowing that its not enough,
fighting fate fighting fear,
knowing that the end is near.
