My backup plan is to be broke

My backup plan is to stay put, pursuing my passion
Even if it means a lifetime pouring coffee
Or serving drinks, or waiting tables
Just to keep my head above water

My backup plan is to look at the lights
And know I am home
As I receive yet another rejection

My backup plan
Is to drown out everyone around me
Telling me that I'm insane

Because I already know I am

I know I could very easily
Be at the top of
Of any logical path I choose
But what a waste of life that would be

So yes I'm insane
I am signing up for a life
With no stability, no safety net
And thousands ready to fall next to me

But my backup plan
Is to not waste this creative energy
Doing some boring day job
That would ultimately make me crazier
Than I already am

So my plan A
Is to live without a single regret
Because I tried
And did what I love
So no matter what happens
My plan was a success
