General Admission

Tough enough to not look for a fight,
no choice but to watch as it rages;
A candle burns on a starless night;

Hit only if someone engages,
attention is never what mattered;
They stay away from well lit stages;

Lingering on the brink of captured 
by the snakes in the orchestra pits; 
General admission  is favored;

That dazzling shadow of the misfits,
cannot be copied by counterfeits.
