A Nervous Girl Attends A Casual Party
I am at the party I did not want to attend
I am at the party although I would rather be at home in bed
I am at the party and I cannot find the girl who invited me
I am at the party and oh my god where should I stand
I am at the party and I am feeling grateful for the pack of cigarettes I bought before I came, now I have something to do with my hands
I am at the party and everyone seems to be speaking a foreign language I can't understand
I am at the party and no thank you I don't want a drink
I am at the party and I already said no, please leave me alone
I am at the party and I'm sorry I'm not trying to be rude
I am at the party and why am I sorry I haven't done anything wrong
I am at the party and I am trying hard to blend in with the patterns on the wallpaper
I am at the party and I am focusing on seeping into the furniture and into the floor and into the soil
I am at the party and it's been 30 minutes is it okay for me to leave yet
I am at the party and why don't these people have any pets
I am at the party and the line for the bathroom is way too long where am I going to hide now
I am at the party and I am texting myself would-be poems that will gather dust as drafts
I am at the party and I should really learn how to dance
I am at the party and I look across the room and I see you
I am at the party and she is biting your lip, her fingers in your hair
I am at the party and you look happier with her than you ever did with me
I am leaving the party as quickly and calmly as my legs will carry me
I am leaving the party and it's okay I'm okay everything is going to be okay
