There's a fly that's buzzing in my ear
A constant, bugging irrational fear
Anxiety into overdrive
for a parcel that hasn't yet arrived
Insecurities that I try to hide
Awkwardness: a daily plight
I'm afraid they think of me uncool
I think they all call me a fool
My responsibilities rot on my desk
My social life: one ****** up mess
My teacher says that I behave
When actually I have no words to say
They slam their doors up in my face
They tell me I'm a long gone case
They smile at me and block my phone
I think I might just die alone
They laugh but they don't like my jokes
I think they're here cuz I'm not broke
Our bonds just a gummy strand
Who am I but one of their many friends?
So I think it's best I stay at home
With my wired telephone
I'll leave my pen and paper to rest
Besides, who wants to read this mess?
