I sit there Passively doing schoolwork Only to look up and notice There are groups of people who are laughing and smiling
At first I am grateful not to be one of them It's so much work to pretend to be happy To pretend to find the jokes funny But then I remember That usually people aren't pretending
I have to remind myself to not look sad sometimes, I don't want the unnecessary attention it often gets me. I just smile and pretend as long as I'm surrounded by a bunch of people.
(I know that this one isn't the most poetic or great but I felt that I wrote too many things that stayed as drafts today. Sorry!)
