Sitting on a bus
Not in a seat, like everyone else
But in the isle
On a Bach.
Oh well, C'est l’histoire de ma vie.

I did not choose to be here
Yet I am here by choice
A choice to be the last
A choice to help out.

Maybe I wouldn't be here
If I had only been assertive.
Assertiveness is not a part of me
Should it be? Probably
But it remains absent.

Maybe I could end my state
of living
as a loser
If I tried

But the world is against me
My talents -- unpopular
And I am unable to change
A loser

A coward.
