In The Way

Sometimes I feel like I'm in the way
What I think
What I say
Where I stand
The way I behave.

Move to the right
oops, sorry I didn't mean to become a problem.
Move to the left
oops, sorry I didn't mean to upset your life.
Move forward
oops, sorry I didn't mean to be a burden.
Move back
oops, sorry I've stepped on your toes.

So I stand
perfectly still
in the spot
that I'm in
not moving, not talking, not thinking, not being.

Hoping not to cause any problems,
Hoping not to hurt any feelings,
Hoping not to say or do the wrong thing,
Hoping not to be noticed,
Hoping to be in-vis-ible.

Cause sometimes I feel like...I'm in the way.
