Every time I’m in the
Same room as you
I’m trapped
Should I say something
Beyond small talk?
Or if I do will it drive you to
End the convo with a
“That’s interesting” or
“I didn’t know that”
Then abrupt silence?
Will it prove all along
That I shouldn’t be here?
That I am someone to fear?
If I don’t say anything
Beyond the default greeting
Will you worry?
Make it seem I hate you
Hate everyone?
Will it prove all along
That I shouldn’t be here?
That I am someone to fear?
Every time I’m in the
Same room as you
I’m trapped
Between speaking
What I’m thinking
Thinking but not
Speaking
(Dis)proving all
Of the above
(Dis)proving
Nothing at all
