So I smile and nod my head when you speak I pretend to listen to you, and I pretend to care A smirk upon my face that I don’t even try to conceal My eyes fixed upon distant nothingness As I continue to ‘pay attention’ to you Right before you I stand, stifling yawns Yet you go on ranting, and you go on raving Trying your best to demolish my self-esteem And you fail so miserably But because you sit upon a pedestal above me I shall appease you with my fake expressions While in reality, to me, you are but an insignificant fleck of nothingness
