Social Anxiety: Irrelevant

6 0 0
                                    

So unimportant in this place
Everyone talks to each other
I just watch and try to find a seat
No one notices me

Talking about relevant stuff
None of them are related to me
I feel so different right now
Don't seem to fit anywhere

Ten people in total
The room is crowded and loud
Tense conversations
Laughter is remarkable

I feel like crying
Run upstairs and collapse
Look at myself in the mirror
And try to comfort myself

"Pick yourself up" I repeat
They can't see you like this
Do not let them in
Handle a few hours, then release

Go back to them
They ask questions, try to be nice
But that just makes it awkward
Pretending they have some interest

A certain someone who everyone likes
She just start conversations
Just like that, so easy
She is close to me but we are so different

I guess everyone compares me to her
As if we were the same person
But I find the great difference
Or maybe she hides everything

She doesn't have all the pressure
Doesn't have the social anxiety
The issues I have when I talk
And finally, she is, in fact, relevant
