i am a blank space joining words
the air between outcasts and insiders
but you are a comma, and it hurts
because your placement divides us

everybody pause when they see it
we are so close but you turn your back
i'm starting to feel like a misfit
these sentences, meaning they lack

and so i feel unwanted and spare
i want to vaporise, float away
but the blank space is needed here
between words, i am forced to stay
