The Bottom of the Barrel

At the bottom of every barrel

You'll find the broken and the cracked

The people who live in shadows

Those who don't know how to act

 

The backward and inverted

The awkward and the shy

Just people looking for answers

Just people asking why

 

The outcast and the lonely

The scared or the abused

A person without a friend

Or a friend who's been misused

 

Just people looking for people

To fill a hollow hole

The empty who hunger and thirst

Or maybe a tired soul

 

At the bottom of every barrel

And maybe you didn't know it

But if you're looking hard enough

You'll even find a poet
