i want to kick you out of my head
you take up too much space
with all the racing around you do

but i want you to stay
because the noise you provide
is better than my silence

and the company
is better than being alone

there are so many people
in this room
surrounding me
talking over one another
taking up space.

there are so many people
in this room
laughing together
loving one another
smiling, happy.

there are so many people
in this room
playing games
playing friends
playing lovers

there are so many people
in this room
yet I am alone.
