*I know I should most likely be Doing something else...* However, I can't help myself This is what I want to do right now. Wait. What was I talking about? **** I don't even know.   Should we be talking about you? Because I just feel so selfish for Hogging the conversation, Disrupting the silence With nonsense. With random facts I read somewhere With the weather reports that are. . . . . . . . . . **** I'm doing it again. I'm sorry. . . . . . . . Was I staring off just now? I couldn't help but think about How the pattern on that gentleman's shirt Looked just like my grandmother's couch! *I wonder if it also smells like moth ***** Um, yeah. Salad sounds great for lunch, How is your dog doing?

Attention Deficits
Rosé makes me romantic I guess Because it's pink And it makes me tipsy Like love should I guess... And it reminds me of The wilting pink roses On my coffee table Cute love I guess... It becomes less than cute Because I bought those flowers For myself Oh, by the way.

Rosé
I remember Keywords & Phrases So I can Pretend to be Informed on subjects I could give a **** about But people I'm trying to impress Or please Totally think that I'm abreast of things. But I'm not. I just don't care. Seriously. I don't give a **** Sorry But I dont. Sports are dumb. Football, golf, baseball, basketball... Don't even get me started on Anything you care about. Odds are I honestly Care less About it Or anything For that matter.

Buzzwords.
*Do you even like my poetry? Does it sound good to you? What about it sounds good to you?* An inside glimpse into my head... *Does it even make sense? This inside glimpse?* Stop trying to answer questions with questions. *Why do you like reading it? What else? Why am I doing this?* So I can show people how I feel... So I can express things... In a way you can understand...? But tell me why you want to hear What I have to say/wtite... I know that I'm being ridiculous. *Are you actually interested in what I'm thinking? Are you, though?*

Are You Though?
Don't even think about it... No. Don't say a thing. It's stupid anyway and nobody cares anyway. Seriously. Shut up. Your mind is too loud. Your thoughts are annoying to them. So. That's that. If you speak your mind... People will; Look at you strangely, Think you are stupid, Tell you to take your meds. You worry too much. Don't freak out. Freak out internally, but don't do that either. Smile. Don't smile too big. Worry. Don't Worry too much. But do. But don't. But do. Calm the **** down...

Social Anxiety
Instead of inspiring a feeling, I want to share a feeling. Never mind what you wanted to feel when you read this. I'm selfish. Feel what I'm feeling as I write and not what you feel as you read this right now. I should probably share with you how I'm feeling. I should have probaby have told you before we got this far. I bet at this point you don't even know how to feel. Good. Neither do I.

I Have a Feeling
*Intertwine my troubled mind With simplicity and blind Me from the morose truth of things Be the very thing that brings Out the best of this world so dark Open up my heart and spark Up a life that will be better Than this listlessness I'm bound to weather It's no secret that I'll miss The comfort of my deep abyss Though it's become so familiar to me I've longed reach beyond and see Things without the stormy haze So ready to step out and blaze A brand new path to feeling well No longer do I wish to dwell On everything that could go wrong I understand that I am strong Enough to handle this and in spite of it all I'll be alright.*
