Devil on the shoulder

Hey are you awake?
Everyone’s talking
But you haven’t said a thing
Say something?
Don’t let them think
You’re stupid
That you have
No opinions
Hear that?
Someone said a joke
Aren’t you going to laugh?
Never mind if it’s a bad joke
Laugh nice and loud–no?
Wait they’re talking about
The places they traveled to
You actually been to some of them
Just insert yourself into
The conversation and mention
You were there too–
Come on what are you waiting for?
Now someone is being sarcastic
Spitting out expletives
Everyone else is joining in
You know how to curse don’t you?
Lob some f-bombs about so-and-so
That’ll show them you belong here and
You’ll get some reputation points out of it–

Wow
You’re no fun
