It is only when you realise, As you sit in the far corner of the room, that they are all so far away from you. So Distant. Laughing amongst themselves In a joke you clearly don’t understand. Alienated from the throws of conversation And the formalities of friendship. You daren’t say a word for the silence that will follow. A dragging Periodic Calculating Silence. So you sit, content with your space In need of something you cannot categorise. They’re all just So Distant. If the physical space weren’t enough, Your individuality will seal the deal. So Distant.

Distant
It is only when you realise, As you sit in the far corner of the room, that they are all so far away from you. So Distant. Laughing amongst themselves In a joke you clearly don’t understand. Alienated from the throws of conversation And the formalities of friendship. You daren’t say a word for the silence that will follow. A dragging Periodic Calculating Silence. So you sit, content with your space In need of something you cannot categorise. They’re all just So Distant. If the physical space weren’t enough, Your individuality will seal the deal. So Distant.
