Sanctuary
Here
We are proud to accept
The square pegs, the unwanted guests
The fifth wheels
The last choices for the teams
We reserve the right to approve
The desperate, the inadequate
The uncomfortable, the socially inept
Those who grope for the right words
We welcome without prejudice
The stutterers, the blushers
The shut-ins and the elective mutes
And the ones who can’t stop crying
All of you, everyone who finds it
Nigh-on impossible to fit in
We have a place, a space
Just for you
Here.
