[ You Have Wondered All Of Your Life Why You Are Always
     On Your Own ]
[ When The Phone Rings & You Pick It Up ]
[ All You Hear Is A Dial Tone ]

[ You Are Always A Second Too Late ]
[ Even Though You Try To Anticipate ]

[ What Is Going To Happen Next ]
[ You Have Even Been Sent A (DEAR JOHN) Through Text ]

[ Nothing Seems To Go Your Way Even In Town ]
[ Two Different Times That You Thought You Came Upon
     A lucky Penny ]
[ But Then You Saw That They Were Heads Down ]

[ You Have Always Been Told That Tails Up ]
[ Does Not Bring You Luck ]

[ Even When You Flip A Coin ]
[ In A Crowd ]
[ Nobody Wants To Join ]

[ One Time You Were In A Store Full Of Mirrors ]
[ & You Tripped & Broke A Whole Row Of Them ]
[ So You Have Bad Luck For Years & Years ]

[ You Have Always Felt That You Were Born Under A Dark
     Cloud ]
[ & You Feel Ignored In Big Crowds ]

[ @ Get Together’s, You Seem To Blend In To The Wall ]
[ Seem So Introverted ]
[ People Don’t Notice You @ All ]

[ When You Are @ Home, Your Roommates Are Always Yelling &
     Fighting ]
[ So Spend Most Of The Time In Your Writing ]

[ Writing Takes You Up In The Clouds ]
[ It Is Only When You Read Back On What You Written Do
     You Feel Proud ]

[ You Have Written Well Over (5,000) In (4) Years Now ]
[ You Wanted To Return The Favor To Your Beautiful Wife,
     After She Sent You A Poem ]
[ But You Didn’t Know How ]

[ Then You Put Your Stylus To Your Phone ]
[ & The Way Was Shown ]

[ Now You Have Never Been A Thump The Bible Kind Of
     Religious Man ]
[ But You Believe That You Were Given A Gift From GOD ]
[ So He Said (NOW YOU CAN) ]

[ So Now People Read Your Stories You ]
[ & When You Write Your Stories ]
[ You Get Noticed Because Of What You Do ]

[ & Then One Day ]
[ You Were Walking In A Parking Lot ]
[ & Then What Did You Spot? ]
[ You Noticed A Shiny Penny Facing The Right Way ]

[ Then Your Luck Turned ]
[ When You Were In Crowds You Remember What You Learned ]

[ It Is Best That You Just Be Yourself ]
[ Don’t Try To Be Anyone Else ]

[ Now It Is Because Of What You Write ]
[ That Has Become Your Guiding Light ]
