Chuck Dave & John

I sit on the outside looking in

one week a year I try on your life

Show me how to do this

I plead into silence

waiting for directions that never explain

I stand by a circle of friends

and long to be included

but once inside the group

I stand our - awkward- different

a square peg in a round hole

Show me how to change 

I implore the darkness

skirting the edge of acceptance

I am stuck in the middle

not belonging at either end

wanting to be home in a life that's not mine

living in a house more empty than full

Show me the way out

I shout at the mirrors

wandering endless hallways

leading nowhere
