Standing among many but all alone,
With a long face holding his phone,
Tommy Jeans is totally sad,
Easily pleased they all look mad,
He stands there sober and won’t  pay for a drink,
They’re all so false he begins to think,
Happiness around him they must be crazy,
Pretenders actually cute and emotionally hazy,
Ignorantly content he can’t comprehend,
For Tommy Jeans  wants it to end,
They’re happy
They’re laughing
They’re joking
…..
They’re choking

They’re not in the room, the moment’s not there,
Deluded in a frenzy, they just don’t care,
They’re in denial and won’t see the truth,
They look at the floor and think it’s the roof,

Tommy Jeans will never have hope,
For that mindset is depression’s *****,

Why be?
Why care?
Why even attend?

Tommy Jeans
Tommy Jeans
He feels  smart, reserved and really quite calm,
But now he’s embarrassed cause he sounded the alarm!
