Not So Bad

It's not so bad
If you'll let them in,
Let them help,
Let them listen for a while,
Not so bad
If you can bear chagrin
And stand silent through
The sharp distain
That paves the way 
For your admiring friends.
That's how it is
When you embark 
To stand in the market 
As you are.
That's how it is 
To truly be a thing
And not pretend.
So don't loose heart
When you're not wanted.
Just wait until you are.
