ALIENATED<br />
BY ASH DOWLING<br />
EVERY TIME THAT I HANG OUT WITH YOU AND THEM<br />
I FEEL SO ALIENATED<br />
BUT I FEEL LIKE AN ALIEN WOULD FIT IN MORE THAN ME<br />
BECAUSE THEY ARE INHERENTLY INTERESTING AND<br />
I JUST FEEL LIKE THE MOST BORING PERSON ALIVE<br />
I CAN’T KEEP UP WITH ANY OF THE JOKES<br />
WHILE THE THREE OF YOU GO BACK AND FORTH, FASTER AND FASTER<br />
AND<br />
I FORCE MYSELF TO LAUGH<br />
IN GRATING HARMONY<br />
I GRAPPLE WITH POSSIBLE THINGS TO SAY BUT<br />
NONE OF THEM SEEM WORTHWHILE<br />
SOMETIMES ONE OF YOU SAYS SOMETHING I HAD THOUGHT OF<br />
AND I RESENT MYSELF FOR NOT HAVING SAID IT<br />
INSTEAD OF JUST SITTING HERE LIKE A LUMP<br />
WITH A LUMP IN MY THROAT, SO STUCK IN MY HEAD<br />
REMINDING MYSELF THAT IN OTHER CIRCLES<br />
I AM FUN AND FUNNY AND WELCOME<br />
