what's it like to be on the outside looking in?
I am the spectator
I live others' lives yet I have none
I enjoy others' happiness yet I have none myself
I see you and your friends
And through you I see friendship
For a spectator can have none
They're not in the game
They can't do what the players can
Spectators only see the fouls and the homeruns
They don't make them
Acting in the world isn't for spectators
It's for players and referees
Those who know
Those who feel without fear
Those who are brave enough to stand out
While the spectator watches.
