Standing By

waiting in the terminal without boarding pass in hand trying to get out of here looking for a destination the lines are really long everyone wants a new attraction they all have a ticket in hand while I'm just standing by free isn't what it used to be there is always a cost sometimes it isn't worth the price and takes most of your time if you want it bad enough I believe it can be yours it is better to have a seat confirmed instead of standing by finally, my name is called I step forward to the gate I've been bumped this whole day long I'm tired of the pushing and shoving as they scan my boarding pass I enjoy the glares from others expect delays and cancellations when you are standing by
